Cadillac Corner: 1906
Detroit circa 1906. "Hotel Cadillac, Washington Boulevard." Last seen here, with a different cast of characters. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Co. View full size.
Sure, the crowd has changed
But the horse droppings are still in place.
It's the Cadillac of hotels
Drape heights, plus the curtain billowing outward onto the fire escape, and open windows tell you the two photographs were taken on the same day in 1906. My guess is the first had the plume of smoke and the photographer waited for it to clear before taking the second.
[The other photo was taken as part of a three-section panorama. - Dave]
