Doctors offices and another building on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, with snow on the ground. Recorded in glass negative ledger: “D/Streets-Woodward.”

A clue to the age of this photo, beside the fact it’s from a glass plate negative, would be the streetlight at the far left edge of the image–it certainly looks like a carbon arc fixture.  My guess is 1900-1915.
