Ambasador Bridge Construction Part 1
Here is a recent arrival at International Metropolis Headquarters. I acquired a set of vintage real photo postcards of the Ambassador Bridge construction. All the cards are marked “American Commercial Photo Co. Detroit”. From what I can tell, the photos are from both sides of the river, some in Detroit, some in Windsor.
Judging from the subject matter, I would hazard a guess that they were commissioned by the company that did the concrete work on the base… Tomorrow I’ll post the rest of the photos…

wow very cool andrew!
Those photos are amazing .. what a great piece of Windsors history.
Ironically, with all the cranes and the highway construction on the Detroit side of the bridge... this looks rather similar today...
