Shriners Visit
June 1922
Shirners from Acca Temple, Richmond, Virginia

"The photo is most likely from 1922. The cloche hats on a couple of the ladies is one tip off to early '20s. The convention was from June 10 to 17th that year. The interesting thing was that the parade was a wash-out. The Shriners still paraded, but an unusual June rain drench the poor paraders. The Shriners returned in 1923 to dedicate the new Shrine Hospital on 19th Avenue, so given the sunny photo, maybe this was the delegation the following year." - John Freeman, 9-19-2007 |
