Print, Photographic

Black and white photographic print taken from the mid-way crossover catwalk of the Ambassador Bridge during its construction, facing the Detroit riverfront. Workers on the left main catwalk are preparing to remover temporary cables. On the shore in the background, the Pere Marquette Railroad yard's roundhouse and the Detroit City Gas Company complex are visible adjacent to the base of the American tower. A caption is handwritten on the verso, "13 - American Tower from halfway point, taken from crossover at mid point in River. Men on left have seperated on bundle of cables in preparation to pitching it into the river."
