- 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.

- Description:
- Original parade photograph of an 1897 Olds towing a wagon float with a horse, advertising Olds Gasoline Engines, "Engines Below." R. E. Olds is in the driver's seat with his daughter in the back of the '97 Olds. Possibly the earliest known image of the 1897 gas powered motor vehicle and its inventor. If the date on the back of the photograph is correct, it was taken five days before the Olds Motor Vehicle Company, the first organized auto manufacturer in the state of Michigan, would be formed.
