This authentic 1960s color photograph captures the iconic Spirit of Detroit statue, located at what was then known as the City-County Building in downtown Detroit, Michigan, in 1967. The structure, which served as the joint headquarters for the city and Wayne County governments, would not be renamed the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center until 1999. The massive bronze sculpture by Marshall Fredericks depicts a seated figure holding a golden sphere in one hand and a family group in the other, symbolizing the spirit of the city. Behind the statue, the curved white marble wall features the seals of the City of Detroit and Wayne County, along with a biblical inscription from 2 Corinthians 3:17. A vibrant bed of red flowers frames the base of the monument, with the historic skyscrapers of the financial district rising in the background.
