One black and white photograph of 10-year old boy, Kenneth Croft, and an older unidentified man. Kenneth Croft was selected to act as "Prince Charming" in an annual "Cinderella" contest that was sponsored by the Central Business District Association (CBDA). Both individuals are well-dressed in white shirts, ties, and dark suits. They are standing on the rooftop of the Pontchartrain Hotel and are looking southward over Cobo Hall and the Detroit River. The Canadian shoreline, a steamship, and the Ambassador Bridge are visible in the left and center background. The Cobo Hall rooftop parking lot, American shoreline, railroad yards, and the U.S. Post Office building are visible in the center and right background. A blue ink stamp on the verso has text that reads "Joe Clark, H.B.S.S., 20 Bartlett at Woodward, Detroit 3, Michigan," and "TUlsa 3-3912, Photographic Ideas, Pictures that Tell A Story."
