Print, Photographic
Black and white photographic print of the plaque installed in the Detroit Historical Museum's Round Hall honoring David E. Heineman for his design of the flag of Detroit, presumably taken at its dedication ceremony on October 16, 1983. The plaque reads:
The official flag of the city of Detroit was designed in 1907 by David Emil Heineman, president of the Detroit Common Council, prominent civic leader, and first historiographer of Michigan Jewry.
Mr. Heineman's design reflected important phases in Detroit's long and exciting history and included the city's seal and motto. This design was later incorporated in the beautiful stained glass window which was located above the rostrum of the council chamber in Detroit's old City Hall.
This window now stands above the entrance to the Detroit Historical Museum as a memorial commemorating David E. Heineman's many contributions to Detroit's heritage.
Presented by the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan, October 1983.
