Shorpy Saturday – Griswold Street: 1906

By Jeffrey Buck

This weekend I am in Baltimore with my brother Gary visiting my brother Paul so I’ll make this part short and sweet. I really love to travel to other American cities to compare architecture. I still think Detroit has some of the finest and here is a picture of one of my favorite streets back in 1906. Enjoy!

Take a look at the photograph entitled “Griswold Street: 1906“:

Detroit circa 1906. “Griswold Street.” My favorite detail here: The American Still Alarm auto at lower right. Detroit Publishing glass negative.
