Labor Day Parade, Cumberland, Maryland

Labor Day Parade, Cumberland, Maryland
Caption on front: "Labor Day, Cumberland, Md." Printed on back: "C. E. Gerkins, Cumberland, Md."

A real photo postcard of men marching in a Labor Day parade along Baltimore Street in Cumberland, Maryland, circa 1900s or 1910s.

The sign for "J. Gross, " a clothing store with an address of 169 Baltimore Street, is visible on the building at left, and a close examination of an enlargement of the photo reveals that "The Kenneweg Co., Wholesale Grocers" occupied the building on the right.

The steeple that's visible at the far end of the street belongs to the historic Emmanuel Episcopal Church, which--as Wikipedia points out--was "built on the foundations of Fort Cumberland, where George Washington began his military career."
