    Default Shorpy - 1907 Detroit: Panorama of Campus Martius

    One of the better photos in a long time from Shorpy. The editor stitched together 3 of the 8" by 10" glass negatives and created this panorama.

    I resized the photo below in order to upload it here, but if you go to the web site you can get it in high resolution. Details are great

    Looks like Ra-Jah coffee was the precursor to Mr. Alan's. 23 cents a pound, 2 1/2 for FITTY!

    Great photo! I wonder where the "point of origin" is in this shot? Under Woodward? I'm not sure when that actual marker was put in.

    Photo would have been shot from somewhere atop the old city hall.

    Had to giggle a bit about this one.

    Someone did a time machine trick on the Campus Martius.
