Parnell Square, opposite Rotunda Hospital. Groome's Hotel. Waiting for President Kennedy to drive past during his visit. Dublin 1963.

A marching band proceeds along Parnell Square in Dublin in 1963 as crowds await President John F. Kennedy’s motorcade. Spectators line the sidewalks and watch from the windows of Georgian-style buildings, including Groome’s Hotel, which stands opposite the Rotunda Hospital. The street is decorated with flags, including an American one, and features signs for businesses like the Electrical Trades Union and Dan Ryan Car Rentals. An overcast sky presides over the scene.
