City - Detroit MI - Motor City 1917 Postcard

City - Detroit MI - Motor City 1917 Postcard

Colourized photo from 1917 Original title: Looking up Woodward Ave Location: 611 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI This is Woodward Ave as seen in 1917, a location that has changed significantly over the years. In fact if people back then time travelled to now, the only thing they would recognise is the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. And even then that was moved from this spot to its current spot, complete with a new fountain. On the left is the Majestic Building, built in 1896, it was designed to be a department store, but ended up being an office building, it was demolished back in 1962. Some of the other buildings like the Kern's building, and Hudson’s stuck around until the early 1990’s but eventually they were levelled as well. This street was the first street to be paved in America. Made of concrete, they poured a mile of it back in 1909. This was a fun time, with plenty of signs and hidden details. For example, can you find the army recruitment tent? How about the cow head sign?

Such a huge range of different frogs available, which made my choices very difficult and now the reason I have a whole draw full of cards and postcards! Much better quality than you can buy in the shops and they are exactly on the subject I love and adore too.
