Description
Photograph of one float in a parade that looks like a barge with approximately six fancily dressed people aboard, ca.1910. A box-like float covered in flowers and other plants stands on a paved street in the center with people sitting inside. The name of the float is illegible, but could be associated with some kind of church. Two sets of tracks are visible beneath while a crowd of people can be seen standing at the side of the street. A storefront is visible in the center background with striped awnings and large windows.
