This is an excellent photograph of early 1900s life in Detroit. The details are very focused and elaborate.
The closest I could get using Google Street Maps to this perspective is the following link. I have never been to Detroit, but this looks like the place:
maps.google.com/maps [maps.google.com/maps] +St,+Wayne,+Michigan&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.598824,93.076172&ie=UTF8&cd=4&geocode=FU6mhAIdds0K-w&split=0&hq=&hnear=Fort+St,+Wayne,+Michigan&ll=42.330767,-83.046376&spn=0.000516,0.00142&t=h&z=20&layer=c&cbll=42.330687,-83.046314&panoid=C0SvNGFmX3XpsDJygKa04w&cbp=12,349.14,,0,3.64
Practically the only thing that is the same is the statue in the center of the square. Times change, and I'm glad we have these memories on film.
Also, it appears the image is hosted here with more information: shorpy.com/node/7136 [shorpy.com/node/7136]
The statue is a Soldiers and Sailors monument. The photo is from 1917.
