#23 Woodward Avenue looking north from Opera House corner, Detroit, 1909
This historic 1909 photograph captures Woodward Avenue looking north from the Opera House corner in Detroit, offering a vivid street-level view of the city’s early 20th-century downtown. Tall commercial blocks line both sides of the avenue, their arched windows, cornices, and busy storefronts creating a dense urban streetscape typical of the era.
