This real photo postcards
above and below show the "Grand Parade of Fire Companies"
that was held during "Firemen's Day" held on Thursday,
August 13th. The photos were taken looking down on State Street
from the second story of one of the buildings on the east side
of the Square. In the above photo the parade passes in front
of the St. John's Hotel. |
In the above image the photographer has now
swung his camera to the North and has captured the local band
crossing East Street from the Livingston Block.

probably the Children's Parade which was held on Saturday, August
15th. . The marchers are heading south on State Street. The ornate
corner of the Union Block is visible in the upper left. |
