Theodore Roosevelt's inauguration on March 4, 1905, was the first time a presidential oath was administered on the east portico of the Capitol, a setting chosen to accommodate the large crowds gathering for his second term. The procession is marked by a military escort moving along the avenue, with spectators lining the route in dense rows. Roosevelt had assumed the office after William McKinley's assassination in 1901 and won election in his own right in 1904, so the day carried the weight of a leader confirmed by the voters. Look closely at the crowd and the formal guard, which together show how ceremonial display marked the peaceful transfer of power in that era.
