Digital scan of a sepia-toned photo taken of the underpinning put in place beneath the south wall of a brick building at 232 Randolph Street during the construction of the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. A ladder sits atop a pile of breaks beside the building. A wooden cable reel sits on end to serve as a table holding tools beside the pile. In the background, wooden beams put in place to buttress the building are visible. "Detroit and Canada Tunnel Contract - Section 5; Underpinning for South Wall of 232 Randolph Street; Aug 13, 1929. 8A-23," was handwritten on the verso.
