Definitely NOT 1932. Much earlier, like c. 1910 or before.

Without any automobiles revealed in magnification, the fashionable lady's outfit in the front of photo, and Roman Catholic's (1890) tower/observatory in distance, Broad and Vine, I would put photo in mid to late 1890s. Originally Posted by CHIOSSO
