During the Inauguration festivities, Governor Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana, the Vice President Elect, was accompanied by an honor guard of 60 black horse troop cadets from Indiana's Culver Military Academy. This photo shows Marshall and part of his entourage in front of the church he attended with his wife, Lois, on Sunday, March 2, 1913, two days before the Inauguration. Another photo in this Bain/LOC series shows Marshall with the same building in the background: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2616370928/in/p...

Thanks! We'll add information to the source data and reload the description.

A church with five pointed stars on the archway? Admittedly the arch is otherwise rather like that found in a Gothic-style church, but the stars don't seem to fit, unless perhaps it is a military chapel?

This very well could be a military chapel. Vice President Elect Thomas Riley Marshall, erstwhile Governor of Indiana, arrived in Washington for the round of Inauguration festivities accompanied by an honor guard of sixty cadets of the Black Horse Troop of Indiana's Culver Military Academy. This photo shows him (and perhaps an official of the military chapel) on Sunday, March 2, 1913, two days before the Presidential Inauguration parade and ceremonies.

Marshall was Governor of Indiana, but now is newly elected V.P. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_R._Marshall

Two days before the inauguration. Apparently Marshall arrived in town before Wilson.
