EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Aquarium building at Belle Isle Park in Detroit, Michigan, between 1900 and 1910. The image captures the grandeur and charm of a bygone era, with the intricate facade of the aquarium standing proudly against a clear blue sky. The aquarium, a popular leisure destination during the 20th century, was a source of wonder and excitement for visitors from all walks of life. The figures in the photograph, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, add a sense of scale and context to the image. The dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in format used by the unknown photographer captures every detail of the aquarium's facade, from the ornate columns and arches to the intricate stonework. Belle Isle Park, located in the Detroit River, was a popular destination for residents and tourists alike, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The park, which featured various attractions including an aquarium, a zoo, and a conservatory, was a testament to the city's commitment to providing cultural and recreational opportunities for its citizens. The aquarium building, designed by Detroit architect Edwin H. Husher and constructed in 1875, was a significant architectural landmark in Detroit's rich history. The building's distinctive facade, with its arched windows and intricate details, is a reminder of the city's heritage and the role it played in shaping American culture during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph, from the collections of the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical record of a time and place that continues to captivate and inspire. The image invites us to imagine the wonder and excitement of a visit to the aquarium at Belle Isle Park in Detroit during the early 1900s.
