Print, Photographic

Sepia-toned photographic print depicting the Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument in Campus Martius and Central Market, beyond along Michigan Grand Avenue as viewed from an elevated position, likely atop City Hall, facing east. Several people appear to be working in the vacant space left after the demolition of the old City Hall, perhaps preparing to build the Central Market Building. Many horse-drawn wagons are lined up on the north side of Campus Martius, as well as along Michigan Grand Avenue. On the north corner of Campus Martius and Michigan Grand is Jelsch and Compy, advertising tobacco and cigars. Several church steeples are visible in the background including the Scotch or Central Presbyterian Church at the left.
