Crowds line Broadway Avenue to watch the Lorain Centennial Parade on July 16, 1913. A marching unit dressed in white uniforms is visible at the center of the photo. Horses pulling wagons and carts process behind. The buildings of the downtown businesses are draped in patriotic bunting. The photographer is likely well-known early Lorain photographer Willis Leiter, as his photo captions are typically written in white script at the bottom of the photo.
