Masonic, Knights Templar 300th Anniversary Parade. Black and white photograph of Knights Templar Masons on parade. Men walking down tree-lined, paved street with light-colored paint line down the center; spectators watching from the curb. Men wear dark suits with knee-length coats, feathered bicorn hats, and regalia including shoulder boards, sashes, belts, badges, and swords. Towards the back, several are holding up flags, and one, a banner that bears a passion cross and the words, "MALDEN, MASS." at the bottom. On reverse, handwritten at upper PR corner, "May 1949 / [crossed out with several pencil lines] June 1950".
