This photo has been blogged to Old Steel, New Library of Congress on Michigan in Pictures. It's so great to see my all time favorite web site becoming a part of my all time favorite community site! Much as I love Detroit’s rich industrial history, I really hope that you can put a few photos from elsewhere in the state, including some that highlight Michigan’s natural beauty! In any case, you are very cordially invited to add your Michigan photos to the Absolute Michigan pool!

That's funny. Just saw this done in the Dirty Jobs episode at a Pennsylvania steel coal "coke" plant.

It was definately a DIRTY JOB. My dad worked at this place in the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. He used to come home with soot looking stuff on his clothes and face. Looked like he'd been working in a coal mine. Sometimes he would shower before he left so he wouldn't come home so dirty.

It appears to be the Detroit Institute of Arts on the immediate right and the Detroit Public Library on the left. Interesting to note the Woodward streetcar tracks are still in the middle of the road at this time ( they stopped running in 1956 ) . This picture appears to have been taken on the roof of a building that now belongs to Wayne State University ( Woodward at Warren Avenue ) .
