Detroit MI Webster Cigars - a photo on Flickriver

            This may be the nicest wall sign I've ever photographed.  This Webster Cigar advertisement was on a building located at West Warren Avenue and Martin Street.  This is a close up of the portrait of Daniel Webster.

By 2015 the wall was almost completely covered in graffiti.  Google Street View in August 2018 shows that the side of the building had been repainted.  Street View from June 2019 shows a small pile of rubble where the building once stood.
