EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1905, showcases the Detroit City Gas Company's impressive gas tank located in Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the industrial history of the city during the early 20th century. The gas tank, also known as a gas holder or gasometer, stands proudly amidst a barren landscape, its towering structure a testament to the burgeoning energy industry. The dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image reveals the intricate details of the tank's lattice design, which would have once held vast amounts of gas, ready for distribution to the city's residents. The Detroit City Gas Company, established in 1857, was one of the earliest gas companies in the United States. By the turn of the century, it had become a significant player in the industry, providing gas for both residential and commercial use. The company's logo, featuring a phoenix, can be seen prominently displayed on the tank, symbolizing the rebirth and transformation brought about by the power of gas. The photograph also showcases the stark contrast between the industrial might of the gas tank and the desolate surroundings. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the role that Detroit and the United States played in the development of the energy industry during the 1900s. The photograph, with its rich history and intriguing composition, invites us to explore the past and appreciate the industrial heritage that continues to shape our world today.
