Forgive the two nominations in a row, but I do have a ten-image backlog even including these, so I am trying to be good here. I think this is a fine image, quite good for showing off the structure as it historically was. I think the dome on the tower is the most obvious change from present day. I've gone with original crop; Given the
Detroit Publishing Company's works tend to follow very strict ratios, I believe this is how it would have been published. More accurate than the illustrations that are our only other historic guide. Admittedly, could be lower down in the article, but the article's full of modern photos, so it's hard to say.
Comment I don't think this adds much value to the article. (ps You are not alone in having a backlog, but there are very few voters around these days)

Adam Cuerden Sorry for your loss. When you have more time to devote to Wikipedia again we might want to consider this as a change to {{POTD row}}, adding "Vote for featured pictures" to the end of the "Archive" row similar to DYK's a "nominate an article" link. --
