  Street sign suggests that the location is intersection of E 60th St and Fifth Avenue in New York City.
  2022 Streetview indicates that the building with columns is no longer there.
  
  The location is known as Grand Army Plaza
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Army_Plaza_(Manhattan)
  
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Army_Plaza_(Manhattan)#/media/File:Grand_Army_Plaza_NYC_Circa_1920.jpg shows the building at the northern end of the block on the east side of Fifth Avenue that has the large red brick building.
  
  It was the Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co.,

  I think K. T. means Knights Templar and that the Com. stands for Commandery. There seem to be many Washington Commanderies -- with different numbers.
  
  New York Times of June 14, 1925, beginning on the front page of section 2
  timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1925/06/14/11904941...
  reports that there would be a parade on Fifth Avenue the next afternoon, with 28 bands. There would also be a "combined band" led by Paul Whiteman (from the Ivanhoe Commandery).
  
  The band led by Whiteman is shown in a nearby Bain photo that has not been uploaded to Flickr. See
  www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2014718395/
  
  Aside: The NYT article cited above includes a history of the Knights Templar starting in 1113 in Syria during the Crusades.
