This was taken on Broadway and Houston Street--the building on the left with the wide arches is the Cable Building (McKim, Mead & White, 1894). Houston was later widened in part thanks to subway construction, meaning that some of the buildings closest to the photographer are now long gone.

This would be the funeral of Maj. Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, U.S. Army, who died April 12, 1912, while commanding general of the Department of the East with headquarters at Governor's Island in New York Harbor. General Grant was the son of Ulysses S. Grant. There is a small collection of Frederick Dent Grant papers at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois.

The 1912 May Day rally in New York erupted into a near-riot, according to this New York Times article published the following day.

Does anyone know what a "Jewish New Year Parade" is? As far as I know there is no such thing, and a google search got me nowhere (except back here)! Maybe they mean Tashlikh or maybe Jews at a parade on 1 January!?

i have never heard of this before, either... very curious... i will do some hunting when i can, too...

Probably a misnomer. The photographer or person cataloging it noted many people dressed up and walking in the same direction (to the synagogue) and called it a parade.

Building is too windowed for a warehouse - maybe a factory or even a school. There's a wall plaque just before the right border; maybe with sufficient resolution it could be read. Agree that 'parade' is misnomer/misinterpretation, but Sept 12, 1912 was indeed the beginning of Rosh Hashonah. They must have been on the way to services..
