Description

A downtown parade was captured at Fourth and Main Streets, shortly after the war with Spain. The horsemen in the foreground are dressed to resemble Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's Roughriders. (Images of Evansville, p. 105) They are riding past Clarence E. Schutz cigars, tobacco, and smokers' articles at 615 Main St. (see Main St. sign on building). The cupola of the (now, old) Vanderburgh County Courthouse at 201 NW 4th St. can be seen over the heads of the men atop the Schutz business. A portion of the side of the Ruston House-Hotel at 208-212 Upper 4th St. is seen in the middle ground behind-beyond Schutz's. At the end of the street, in the distant background, is The H. Schminke Co. stove and furnace manufacturers and roofers, at the corner of 4th St. and Division St. The church spire on the left is the German Methodist Episcopal Church at 25 Upper 4th St. None of these buildings/businesses still exist.
