Black and white photo of a row of shuttered wooden frame, two story, gable front Vernacular houses taken during the architectural salvage effort for the Detroit Historical Museum's Streets of Old Detroit exhibit. The first floor bay windows of the buildings are all boarded up using old doors, and the second floor windows are broken. A sign containing notice of the building's condemnation from the City of Detroit's Housing Commission is posted on one of the buildings above a painted 'X.' A stamped Detroit Historical Museum form is on the verso, filled in with the subject number 105, and the date, October 1950. "2905 4 houses North," is handwritten on the verso.
