Public license

This image is in the public domain in the United States. In most cases, this means that it was first published in the United States prior to January 1, 1923 (see the talk page for more cases). Other jurisdictions may have other rules, and this image might not be in the public domain outside the United States. See Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

The photo apparently predates the Pearly Thomas 400 streetcars replacing the smaller trolleys seen in the photo. The photo might have been taken in the 1910s, with more autos added by a postcard company artist.

The majority of the buildings visible are still there today, but the cast iron balconies were removed in a 1920s "modernization" project.
