One black and white photograph of construction work that is underway for the new Civic Center redevelopment project in downtown Detroit. The view looks northwestward and shows a large area of excavation in the lower foreground that is lightly-covered with snow. Stacks of pipe sections and several workmen can be seen in the project area along with a construction crane and a steam-powered pile driver. Downtown commercial buildings are visible in the background including the Norton Hotel (center) and the Guardian Building (right).
