Handwritten on the back, "Ground breaking ceremonies. February 15, 1928." Mayor Davie is standing on a stage giving a speech. The stage is decorated with star spangled flags. At least three dozen men are sitting on the stage behind the Mayor. A large building is behind the stage and a musical band is in front of the stage. The main visible feature of this photo is the crowd. There are hundreds of people, mostly men with their backs to the camera, listening to the speech.
