Parisians assembled immediately west of Market Street on October 15, 1901, to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, later George V and Queen Mary. The white building in the background was the American Hotel. The guardhouse at the crossing was removed c. 1934. School cadets assembled in 1922 to welcome Baron Byng of Vimy, Governor General of Canada. Between approximately 1915 and 1925 most Paris school boys were required to be members of a corps. At the extreme right is a corner of the railway station that was then on Broadway Street East.
