One third of the collection contains photographs of the construction of Interstate 96 in Grand Rapids between 1959 and 1966. Many stages of the construction process are shown. Approximately another third of the collection documents building construction and urban renewal in downtown Grand Rapids in the sixties and seventies. Most of the urban renewal is found in box 2. The third box contains photographs of people and events, however very few of the people are identified. The third box also contains information on the Drueke family and business.

A poster “Lakeside Club Bouquet,” located in the flat files, is shown in a photo in Box 3, Folder 11 of this collection, but may not belong to this accession.
