DescriptionLarge crowd of men, women and boys in front of the Pope Manufacturing Company. All wear hats or caps. A few people in the foreground have bicycles. A carriage drawn by two horses and driven by a man in a top hat tries to make its way through the crowd. Band uniforms and instruments are barely visible in the background near a small building, perhaps a guard house. The building at left has round-arched windows, classical moldings and a small porch with Ionic columns. Awnings are on all windows. A second large industrial building, partially covered with ivy, is at the right.
