Numerous onlookers watch a circus parade as it moves south on Main Street (later First Avenue SW). Camels, circus wagons and performers are in the parade. The Rochester Hotel (located at 219 Main Street) is in the center of the photo facing east. The structure in the distance with the square tower is the Merchants Hotel (later Brown Hotel).
A large group of people line Broadway to watch the circus parade with horses, elephants, circus wagons and performers. The photo was taken from the top of the old Queen City building on the corner of Broadway and Second Street SW looking south toward the old Central Fire Station.
