These city scenes tend to be complex, but this one wasn't so bad. While it looks complex, there is a lot of basic buildings here, that were easier to fill in. Getting an accurate building color was harder though. This street is currently closed off to traffic, I was only able to get a vague idea what color that one striped building looked like.
On another site, they identified that car on the left as a 1909 Hupmobile, and they gave the year range on this image from 1900-1910.
I do miss the era of the sign, I wonder how many of those fell off and crushed people below?
