A Detroit like you have never seen! The selected clips in this vintage movie are from a collection of 8mm home movies taken during the period 1937 through 1949. The scenes shown in Detroit include locations on 14th Street in west Detroit, Fort Street in downtown Detroit, Indiana Street in northwest Detroit, Bramford Street in northeast Detroit, the Belle Isle Children’s Zoo, the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak, and several other unidentified locations. I hope you enjoy a unique view of the City of Detroit
