This authentic 1960s color photograph captures the soaring brick facade of the David Stott Building on State Street in downtown Detroit, Michigan, in 1963. The 38-story Art Deco skyscraper, completed in 1929, is shown in sharp detail against a bright afternoon sky. In the foreground, pedestrians in mid-century attire—including women in hats and floral dresses—cross the intersection, while signs for Hughes Hatcher Suffrin and Capitol Savings & Loan are visible on adjacent storefronts. The street is active with period traffic, including a black sedan and a Detroit Department of Street Railways bus in the distance. This high-resolution scan beautifully preserves the historic textures of the city’s masonry and the vibrant daily life of the Motor City’s shopping district. This digital download is an incredible historical record, perfect to print for yourself as vintage Michigan wall art.
