Printed on front: "Officers' quarters, Fort Wayne, Detroit, Mich." Printed on back: "Officer's Row, Fort Wayne. Situated inside the limits of Detroit, on the bank of the river, is historic Fort Wayne, one of the regular posts of the United States army. A portion of the fortifications dates back to the territorial days, including the old barracks and a winding maze of subterranean passages leading to the magazine.
