This view pairs Steele High School with the Soldiers' Monument in Dayton, Ohio, two civic landmarks that together show how the city marked both education and the memory of its Civil War veterans. The Detroit Publishing Company, which made this 8 by 10 inch glass negative between about 1900 and 1906, sent photographers across the country to record towns, streetscapes and monuments for travel books and picture postcards. Memorials like this one were common in American cities of the period, often raised by local veterans and citizens' groups, and a school standing beside one reflects the civic pride of that era. The negative's catalog number and collection history are noted on the plate itself.
