The inauguration of Grover Cleveland as the 24th president of the United States[1] took place on Saturday, March 4, 1893,[2] at the East Portico of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. This was the 27th inauguration and marked the commencement of the second and final four-year term of Grover Cleveland as president and the only term of Adlai Stevenson I[2] as vice president. Cleveland had been inaugurated as the 22nd president exactly eight years earlier, making his second inauguration the first nonconsecutive re-inauguration for a former U.S. president.[a] Chief Justice Melville Fuller administered the presidential oath of office. It snowed during the inauguration.
