Parades

Centennial of Tuscaloosa, 1916

On the float that participated in the Tuscaloosa Centennial Parade are Mrs. M.T. Maxwell, Mrs. J.C. Perkins, Mrs. H.B. Foster and Mrs. B. Turner. The building in the background is the Tuscaloosa Female College on Queen City Avenue. The Tuscaloosa News on May 30, 1916 described the float as " unique in design with a trellis of wisteria protected and served as a frame for living pictures of the olden days in antebellum costumes, powdered hair, painted faces, patches galore, at spinning wheels, and thus presenting Tuscaloosa's second oldest club which has existed nearly 25 years."
