This is a photograph of the first traffic light in downtown, Howell, Michigan.   The view is of the traffic signal and West Grand River  Avenue.  The location of the traffic light was  Grand River Avenue and  Michigan Avenue (previously known as East Street - 1895- and Division Street, 1915).  Today, it is known as the Main Four.

The exact date of the installation of the traffic light is unknown.  There is a mix of old cars and horses and buggies in this photograph.  It appears that there is a band marching in the street.  The Presbyterian Church peaks are visible in the far background.
