- Description:
- A "Passion Cross" procession of uniformed Knights Templars on Washington Avenue, marching to "Onward Christian Soldiers." According to the Lansing State Journal, over 5,000 members came from around Michigan for the annual Conclave event which involved the parade, competitive drills held at the Michigan State College stadium, a grand ball at the Masonic temple, a business meeting, a banquet for members and their wives, tours, and other activities. It was to date the largest Conclave to take place in Michigan, in part due to favorable weather conditions. The photograph is taken from an upper floor or the roof of the building at the corner of Ottawa and Washington streets, looking north up Washington Avenue. The Empress Cafe and the Bishop Company can be seen in the 300 block opposite, and further in the distance is the Lansing Storage Company warehouse. On the left a few letters of the Buck's sign can be seen. Two copies.

- A "Passion Cross" procession of uniformed Knights Templars on Washington Avenue, in May of 1921. That year was the 52nd anniversary of the Lansing Commandery No. 25's receipt of charter, and the 65th annual conclave.

The photograph is taken from the roof of a building near the intersection of Washington and Michigan avenues, looking north up Washington Avenue. Across the street are Woolworth's, Dancer-Brogan, the Plaza Theater, and many other businesses.
