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 recently-completed concrete foundations for the building and pilings for an adjoining dock. Two workmen can be seen in the background as well as a foreman or engineer who is standing beside a surveyor's level. Several piles of earth, lumber, supplies, and debris can be seen around the site. The old Belle Isle Pavilion can be seen near the upper right corner of the photo with Lake Tacoma visible to the right. 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. 3, Date: 6-2-49, Lens-Art Photographers." The photo is mounted on white canvas and includes a canvas strip along the left edge to allow for placement in a binder or album.
