The visible base of the broadcast antenna atop the building as well as letters spelling out "WXYZ Radio Station / Maccabee's Bldg" are illuminated. Parked cars, and blurred impressions of traffic passing during a long exposure are visible along Woodward Avenue in the foreground below. Puddles and a pile of unmelted snow are in the nearer foreground.
