Haha. It's a tower for one of those arc lights, early lighting systems that were so bright they had to be out of view or they'd hurt your eyes.

First building to the right is the Book Cadillac Hotel prior to being rebuilt. Next to it is the Edison Plant Henry Ford worked at when he was living on Bagley and invented the Quadracycle in Skipper's bathroom.

You know what would really improve that view up Washington Blvd? A giant set of bright red monkey bars!

What a humble place back then. Almost looks like a small town square.
