Centennial Arch, 1876

1876

An arch spans West Bridge Street and another can be seen in the distance. Horse drawn carriages appear to be in a parade as people watch from the roofs of several buildings. People are on the sidewalks, and three women in the lower left are dressed in white. Swags and wreaths decorate the building on the far right, a large flag hangs at center left, and another flag is on the roof of the building second from the right.
