EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling scene of construction work on Fourteenth Avenue in Detroit, Michigan between 1905 and 1915. The image shows the grade separation of the railroad tracks from the street, a common infrastructure improvement during the early 20th century to enhance traffic flow and safety. The railroad company, likely the Detroit Publishing Company or another major player in the industry, is in the process of building a new bridge or underpass to separate the tracks from the busy avenue. The photograph, taken as a dry plate glass negative, measures 8 x 10 inches and offers a unique glimpse into Detroit's industrial past. The image is filled with activity, with workers in various stages of construction, horse-drawn carts, and railroad cars in the background. The scene is a testament to the city's growth and development during this era, as well as the importance of the railroad industry in shaping the urban landscape. The photograph is part of the collections of the Library of Congress and is credited to an unknown photographer, possibly Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone. The image is a valuable historical record of Detroit's transportation history and offers a fascinating look at the city's industrial past.
