🔎 UNIDENTIFIED This is a LOOOOONG Shot I know, but does anybody .....

...... recognize the buildings in this street scene? Thanks for your help.

creskol, as much help as you give myself & others on TNet I wish I could offer you a positive ID. Until someone can - maybe narrowing the timeframe will help. Based on the clothes worn and presence of some utility poles - maybe late 1800s-early 1900s. If there were a name of the store on one of the buildings that would help as would any other photos of this scene taken at different angles. The people are lined up waiting for a parade(?) or looking at whatever is up in the air at about 10 o'clock (unless that is an anomaly on the photo). Good luck!

I would guess early 1900's. The clothing, buildings and electric lines point to post 1900. The trees in the park behind appear to be young apple trees of two different ages.

The fact that the road is freshly cleared and the people are all gathered away from the roadbed, well dressed, and looking intensely upwards tells me they are getting their first look at the modern miracle of airplanes.

Probably Midwest about 1910?

Run through tineye your best bet is to copy from the same location that you found the picture if you got it from the net.
I just ran it from your post and found nothing, but if you saved it from a web site there's a chance there is information that goes along with it.

The picture doesn't enlarge very well. It becomes pixelated quickly so I could be wrong, but it looks like almost all of the onlookers are women and children. Not sure that helps even if true.

On the building in the foreground there may be a name on it. As Doubter in MD points out the picture gets pixelated upon enlargement but it may be legible on original. If so, that may help ID where the buildings are/were located.

When you find out, I'll help you detect any road/curb tear-outs!

Not sure if its same building but very similar and prob same time period. Also they are not looking up they are looking down the street. There are many photos with the women dressed like this for parades. So im guessing that they are waiting for more of the parade to come. From the searching it seems more like late 1800s I dont think that is power lines, I think that is telegraph lines. There is three antennas on the roof also it seems.
