From the upper floors of Detroit's City Hall, this view looks out over the downtown rooftops toward the Detroit River, the waterway that shaped the city from its founding as a French outpost in 1701. Detroit grew rapidly through the 19th century as a port, shipping center and manufacturing hub, and a vantage point like this one shows how crowded the commercial core had become. Church steeples and chimneys rise above the blocks, marking a city in the middle of fast expansion. The title's word "glance" suggests a quick, sweeping look over the town rather than a formal study of any single building.
