Black and white photo of Woodward Avenue north of Alfred Street, as taken from the roof of the Yellow Pages Building. The Roxy Theatre, a Sunoco station, the Gem Sales Company, the First Unitarian Church of Detroit, the First Presbyterian Church, the Playhouse Detroit, the Bonstelle Theatre, the Downtown Motel, the smokestacks of the Detroit Edison Willis Avenue Station, and the Maccabees Building are all in view. A billboard atop the Edwin S. George Building reads, "Chevrolet Sixty's Sizzler." Cars and pedestrians are visible below. A typewritten caption taped to the verso reads, "Woodward Avenue, looking north from the Yellow Pages Building on a day when cloudy skies were occasionally penetrated by sunshine." "1960," and "Donald R. Brown, 3941 Harvard, Detroit 24, Mich." are handwritten on the verso.
