Black-and-white negative photo of the 1955 Hoboken Centennial Parade, Washington St., Hoboken, March 1955.
120 format negative. Photographer is not indicated, but is probably Eleanor Willington or family. None of the individuals are identified.
The view is looking east-southeast. This is the Stevens Institute of Technology float with two riders seen dressed in spacesuits; a prop rocket is to the left. It is going south in the 200 block of Washington St. Mostly out-of-view in the background is the southern end of the the facade of Town Grille (also known as Town Lunch & Town Bar) which was then located at 215-217 Washington St and to the right, Bendix Automatic Laundry (the shorter building) which was 213 Washington St.
One of a group of 12 negatives from this source of images taken at the Sunday, March 27,1955 parade. Digital reference print on file.
