The camera view is from the north side of Market Street, just east of Grant Avenue. After leaving the Southern Pacific train station at Third and Townsend Street, the parade proceeded up Third Street and wound through downtown San Francisco before continuing up Market Street to a ceremony at the Native Sons Hall on Mason Street. The opening view is southeast down Market Street. The President's carriage has turned into Market Street from Third Street at right in front of the white facade of the Hearst Building. President Roosevelt waves to the crowd as his carriage passes in front of the decorated facade of the Call Building.
Reporters hurry past, keeping pace with the carriage.
A cavalry officer, probably of the Ninth US Cavalry, passes in front of the History Building. The camera pans back to the east, showing the empty gubernatorial and mayoral broughams. Many carriages of distinguished persons follow. Miles, H.J., camera. American Mutoscope and Biograph Company.
