EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1916 and 1920, showcases an aerial view of Cadillac Square and the Hotel Pontchartrain in Detroit, Michigan. The image, captured from City Hall, offers a unique perspective of the bustling urban scene during the 1910s. The Hotel Pontchartrain, a grand establishment, dominates the frame with its imposing facade. Its elegant design, featuring large windows and intricate architectural details, stands out against the backdrop of the city. The hotel, a symbol of hospitality and luxury, was a popular destination for both local and international travelers. Cadillac Square, the city's central hub, is filled with activity. Pedestrians can be seen milling about, some engaged in conversation, while others appear to be in a hurry. Streetcars and trams crisscross the square, adding to the sense of movement and energy. The roundabout, with its stately fountain at its center, serves as a focal point for the scene. The photograph, a dry plate or glass negative, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Detroit during this era. The image, part of the Detroit Publishing Company's extensive collection, is a valuable historical document that captures the essence of city life in America during the early 20th century. The photograph's timeless quality and intriguing composition make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Detroit or American urban development.
