Print, Photographic
Sepia-toned photographic print depicting an elevated view of Woodward Avenue, as viewed from a point near the intersection of Woodward and Gratiot Avenue, facing south. People wait in the median of the street where a row of electric streetcars and an interurban car are stopped. A portion of Kern's is visible at the lower left. The building is under construction, and pair of signs reading "Kern's New Building" and "Union Carpenters Employed on the job" are posted. Across Woodward are the storefronts of Cunningham's Drug Store, Walk-Over Shoe, Heyn's Bazaar, and Stotter's as well as the Majestic Building. In the background, across Campus Martius, the Hammond Building and advertisements for Vernors and Nabisco Wafers are visible. The photo has been altered--the near streetcars have all been outlined in dark grey.
