One black and white photograph of the Flynn Memorial Pavilion under construction on Belle Isle in Detroit. The view looks eastward across the construction site and shows the foundation formwork and timber supports for a temporary wooden catwalk in the foreground. Piles of earth, lumber, and debris can be seen around the site. The old Belle Isle Pavilion can be seen in the center background near the upper edge of the photo with a small portion of Lake Tacoma visible to the right. The Detroit River and Windsor, Ontario, shoreline are partially visible in the far background near the upper right corner area of the photo. A small title block in the lower right corner has printed text that reads " City of Detroit, Contract No. PR-63, Flynn Memorial, Emil Van Sile Co., East from SW [Southwest] Corner Bldg., Photo No. 2, Date: 4-7-49, Lens-Art Photographers." The photo is mounted on white canvas and includes a canvas strip along the upper edge to allow for placement in a binder or album.
