Title

Knights of Pythias review (no. 2)

Subject

Grant Park (Chicago, Ill.)
Knights of Pythias

Description

Part of series with photograph labeled "Knights of Pythias Review" on verso. This photograph is identified as a Grant Park celebration of 1917 by William Hudson Harper in Chicago: A History and Forecast: 1921, p. 166. The Chicago Tribune in 1917 indicates a "celebration" in Lincoln Park, July 28, 1917; but there could have been a parade on Michigan Avenue. In addition, the Knights of Pythias are among the groups on parade for Memorial Day, May 30, that first spring of World War I. The vantage point is from the top the Railway Exchange Building, the location of Bennett's office, the former Plan of Chicago office, 1906-1909.

 

Another possibility (see item 1897-Knights of Pithias" no. 3): Military Tournament on July 4, 1910 in Grant Park (Chicago).

Aerial view of Grant Park, possibly the Art Institute of Chicago and Illinois Central Railroad Tracks (no. 2). This is a very dark image, and hard to read.
