This authentic 1960s color photograph captures the striking mid-century modern facade of Cobo Hall (now Huntington Place) in Detroit, Michigan, in 1967. The image features the building’s signature white geometric concrete overhangs and glass-walled exterior, with a long marquee welcoming the “PONTIAC SALES TEAM,” the “KNIGHTS TEMPLAR,” and a “FORD PREVIEW” for the “BETTER IDEAS FOR ’68” campaign. In the foreground, a dark blue Mercury Cougar is parked near a street-level parking meter, while a red sedan and a white Ford travel along Civic Center Drive. Street signs for “CIVIC CENTER DR.” and various “DO NOT ENTER” markers guide the urban flow in the heart of the city’s waterfront district. The bright, clear daylight emphasizes the crisp architectural lines and the bustling energy of Detroit during its peak as a global industrial leader. This high-resolution scan is an exceptional historical record of Michigan’s civic architecture. This digital download is a remarkable piece of local history, perfect to print for yourself as vintage Detroit wall art.
