Detroit Then And Now Photo Gallery
FILE - In this Saturday, Aug. 10, 1996 file photo, the historic Detroit Edison's "Seven Sisters," smokestacks at the Conner's Creek Power Plant in Detroit are toppled. Erected in 1914 and 1921, the seven, 352-foot tall smokestacks had become a landmark for Metro Detroit, serving as both a symbol of industrial might and navigational beacon to generations of sailors on the Detroit River.
