Liberty and Union: 1904
NOW AND FOREVER, ONE AND INSEPARABLE
1904. "Steele High School and Soldiers' Monument, Dayton, O." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Photographic Company. View full size.
Too many Masterpieces
Of course the world had too many such buildings, why not simply demolish them and put up a glass car park? Who needs all that craft and solid workmanship designed to last hundreds of years anyway?
Then and Now
The high school was razed in 1955 for a parking garage. Here's a video of the site's transformation.
The Finished Product
It's always interesting to see how Detroit Photographic turned these great B&W shots into a color postcard.
