  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)#/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.

  Thanks swanq, we'll update the information in all of the photos showing this parade.

  8th December 1940 Crowds gather in Queen Street in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia to watch the Air Force Parade. A banner wishes them Good Luck and a Safe Return. Nearly one in ten of the personnel serving under Britain’s Royal Air Force command in the Second World War were from the Royal Australian Air Force. Source: intimesgoneby.wordpress.com/tag/brisbane/

Wonadi Town Band posing on the steps of the hospital on opening day, Wondai, 1915

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Wondai is a small rural service centre in the heart of the South Burnett region. Today it services the surrounding properties where wheat and cereal crops are grown and dairy and beef cattle are raised. Source: www.aussietowns.com.au/town/wondai-qld

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The research suggests the name of the town is actually Wondai. Can you please confirm if the info is correct.?
