14. Roanoke Decennial Parade - Cyanotype shows the Roanoke Decennial Parade as it moves from east to west along Salem Avenue SE (First Avenue). The parade is crossing 1st Street SE (Nelson Street). The large building on the right is the old Market Building and adjacent to it in the lower right foreground is W. W. Workman & Company. They were auctioneers. Festive banners appear on the large building on the left side of the picture. Electric power lines run along the south side of Salem Avenue. Men and women line both sides of Salem Avenue - all well-dressed. The wooded hill in the background of the picture is part of what was then Woodland Park. When Shenandoah Valley Railroad and the Norfolk and Western Railroad were connected in 1881, local officials under the leadership of F. J. Kimball, then president of the SVRR, organized Roanoke Land and Improvement Company. The new company soon purchased 500 acres around the village of Big Lick in order to accommodate the fast-growing community. A portion of the land lying north of Tazewell Avenue and south of Church Avenue was given to the newly named city of Roanoke by Roanoke Land and Improvement Company in 1881 or 1882 and Woodland Park was created on the condition that the city fence in the park. The city failed to fence the park, so the property reverted to the previous owner, who proceeded to develop it. Water was piped from Crystal Spring to a reservoir on top of the hill in Woodland Park.
