Black and white outdoor photograph of the speakers platform at the dedication ceremony for the Pioneer Memorial Tower in Kitchener, Ontario, on 28 August 1926.
One man, believed to be William Henry (W.H.) Breithaupt, is seen standing at a table on the platform. He is surrounded by a crowd of people, most of whom are seated. The tower's entrance is seen in the background.
The Pioneers Memorial Tower project was originated by the Waterloo Historical Society to honour the early German settlers of Waterloo County. The monument is sometimes referred to as the Waterloo Pioneers Memorial Tower.
The image was taken by Ernest Denton, a photographer in Berlin/Kitchener from approximately 1912 to 1955. He operated photography studios at various locations in the city.
This photograph is in excellent condition.
