Mounted sepia-toned photograph taken of the interior of the 5 Mile Bar on Woodward Avenue in Highland Park. A bartender with a cigar in his mouth poses behind a display case of cigar boxes beside the bar. A boy sits on the floor of the room cradling the head of a dog who is curled up beside him. Tables are set up on the left side of the room, and a spittoon is visible beside the table nearest to the camera. A framed portrait of Henry Busch, City Clerk, is on the wall in the background. A map of Detroit, and framed pieces of art depicting soldiers on horseback, men playing pool, and a man in a boat are also visible around the room. The photo is mounted on black cardboard. "5 Mile Bar - Woodward - Highland Pk. About 1905-10," is handwritten on the verso.
