I featured a smaller version of this photograph in a previous post. It continues to highlight the Washington / Michigan Avenue area in the early 1900s before the major wave of much larger scale buildings.

Take a look at the photograph entitled “Hotel Cadillac: 1906“:
Detroit circa 1906. “Hotel Cadillac, Washington Boulevard.” 8×10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company.

I enjoy doing an array of activities, including following Detroit sports teams, SCUBA diving, traveling, reading, playing tennis, hand-written letters and going to the movies.
I am the co-founder of the Woodward Spine, a blog about Detroit and its surrounding communities.
