Print, Photographic
Sepia-toned photo showing storefronts and warehouses along a commercial business and warehouse section of Jefferson Avenue that was located between Bates and Randolph Streets. The view shows a horse-drawn wagon and several parked automobiles in the foreground with several 4, 5, and 6-story brick buildings in the background. Handwriting in the lower right corner shows "General Office Bldg. - Detroit" although it is not clear if this was actually the name of one of the buildings shown in the photo. The note possibly refers to the whole row of buildings as a category type, namely, general office buildings. Businesses that are visible include: Edson, Moore & Co., Tomlinson-Lanphere Co., an un-named hotel, and [?] Supply Co. that sold auto supplies.
