EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the industrious spirit of Detroit, Michigan during the early 20th century. The image, taken between 1905 and 1915, depicts the construction work on the grade separation project at Buchanan Street. The railroad tracks are being raised above the street level, allowing for uninterrupted traffic flow and improved safety for both vehicles and trains. Detroit was a hub of industrial activity during this period, with numerous companies, including the Detroit Publishing Company, contributing to the city's growth. The photograph showcases the tree-lined streets and the natural beauty that contrasted the urban landscape of the time. The tree-lined thoroughfare, with its lush green foliage, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, which is otherwise dominated by the industrial machinery and construction equipment. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, and the intricate details of the construction site, the textures of the trees, and the patterns of the tracks are all evident in the high-quality image. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of Detroit and the United States during the 1900s, providing a glimpse into the past and the transformation of the city's infrastructure. The exact creator of this photograph is unknown, but it is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a repository of the nation's historical treasures. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, industrial history, or photography, and is a reminder of the ingenuity and hard work that shaped the country's industrial landscape during the 1900s.
