The record gives little beyond its title, "MI City of Detroit," so this picture stands as a general view of the city as it was pictured in its era. Detroit grew into one of the largest industrial centers in the United States, rising to prominence in the early 20th century on the strength of automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding and related trades along the Detroit River. Images of the city from this period often show the dense blocks, rail lines and waterfront activity that made it a magnet for workers from across the Midwest and the South. Look closely at the streets and rooftops for clues about the city's pace of growth and the scale of its working life.
