This week’s Mystery Photo is of a brick street, lined on one side by trees and on the other by telephone poles. We’d like to identify this quiet residential neighborhood and determine when the photo was taken. Perhaps our readers can help us out.

The clues are fairly slim. The sidewalks, often wooden into the early years of the 20th century, are concrete. The street is completely devoid of traffic. Shadows of the houses seem to fall diagonally across the street.

The print found in the Observer-Reporter archive appears to be a photo of a photo, so it is possible that this scene was reproduced on a postcard.

If you think you know where, when or why this picture was taken, email Park Burroughs, retired executive editor, at pburroughs@observer-reporter.com, or call and leave a message for him along with your telephone number at 724-222-2200, extension 2400.

With a little help from our readers, we’ll be able to solve this puzzle and publish our findings next Monday.
