#43 The new Y.M.C.A. building, Detroit, 1909
This historic black-and-white photo shows the new Y.M.C.A. building in Detroit in 1909, captured from street level to emphasize its height and strong brick-and-stone construction. The view highlights rows of windows, arched details on the lower floors, and a tower-like corner that gives the structure a commanding presence in the early city skyline.
