One sepia-toned photograph showing the opening ceremony at the Springwells Water Treatment Plant in Detroit on May 17, 1935. The view shows a crowd seated in the foreground along with a film crew in the lower left. City and plant officials can be seen in the background with the treatment plant building, American flags, and a brass band. A grassy field and houses can be seen in the far right background. Handwritten text along the upper edge of the photo shows "Official Opening - Springwells Station - May 17, 1935. Small printed text in the lower right corner shows "120692." A black ink stamp on the verso shows "Manning Bros., Inc., Commercial Photographers, 333 State St., Room 505, Detroit, Michigan."
