Woodbridge Street is visible in the foreground along with a pedestrian on a sidewalk and a man who is pushing a wooden handcart. Beyond them is a construction supply yard with a project advertisement sign entitled, "Relocation of Mariners' Church, Memorial Hall Commission, City of Detroit." A portion of the Jefferson Avenue side of the new City-County Building (now the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) is visible in the far background at the right.
