Another Friday, and once again, another old photo. Today’s picture doesn’t have a date on the back, only a handwritten note reading “Hotel Dieu defrauded hospital”, the only other mark is a stamp that reads “Detroit Times Reference Dept.”
Judging from the car parked out front of the hospital, I would place a date of the mid 1920’s. Although the car experts out there, could probably nail it down to a specific model year. Check out that cast iron staircase…
A nice detail shot of the tower, with the date of 1888.
Have a good weekend everyone, see you back here Monday.
Nice pic, good timing with all the work being done there. It would be nice if they would be able to fix it up and keep some of the history like in the photo.
The car in the photo looks similar to this 1928 Chevrolet Sedan.

We had a ’29 Chrysler similar to that one… tons of room in those old cars. We got 8 people in it once!
