Description:

Photograph. Sepia-toned gelatin silver photo of a parade float that was part of the Detroit Bi-Centenary Parade, in the intersection of Miami Avenue and Wilcox Street.

Five figures are standing on the float in front of the trading post with one dressed in colonial attire and the other four dressed as Indians. A sign across the top of the trading post notes "Dry Goods; 1701 - Burnham, Stoepel & Co." Three men are standing beside the horses in the street. A small crowd of spectators can be seen on the right side of the photo. The "Index Printing Co." building is visible in the background of the photo.
