Print, Photographic
Mounted, sepia-toned photographic print depicting roof of Wright, Kay, and Company as well as the adjacent Henry R. Leonard Furniture Company and the Opera House following the fire that consumed them in October 1897. Several people are on the roof. The photo was taken from an elevated position, likely from City Hall, across Campus Martius, facing northeast. Signs for Nelson Morris, and Company, and D.M. Ferry and Company are visible in the background. Photo is mounted to off-white matting with a textured frame around the image. "Mrs. Catherine McDuff Davies 10/26/33" handwritten on verso.
