The image, featuring the sign "Canfield Ave. E" on a tree, offers a glimpse into the past of this historic building. The Residence and Detroit Athletic Club, also known as the Henry Bourne Joy Mansion, was a prominent social club and dwelling place for the city's elite. The magnificent building, adorned with intricate glass details, exudes an air of opulence and sophistication. The lush grounds surrounding the residence add to its allure, providing a serene contrast to the bustling city. The photograph, a silver gelatin glass transparency, captures the essence of early 20th century American architecture. The building's grandeur is evident in its tall, imposing structure, which stands as a testament to the wealth and status of its inhabitants. The use of glass in the construction of the building is particularly noteworthy, reflecting the growing trend towards modern, light-filled homes.
