There was at least one sharp eyed
reader this week who then gave away the answer to the Facebook crowd.
Congratulations to J W Thompson and the others who agreed.
Yes, the location is from South Broadway looking north and the
building on the right is the Reynolds building built in 1917.
The best that I can tell, this was
right in front of Beckham Place, which was the passageway beside and
access to the Southern Railway station. It therefore makes sense
that Southeastern Express would have a presence (advertisement or
physical) along this road, although I believe that this is a rooming
house.
The intersections off to the left are
in order Magazine, Hayman and Chair which are probably fairly
familiar to many readers as the neighborhood of Country Boys Brewing.
The intersection behind and to the right would, of course, be Scott
St (nee Scott Ave) since having its name changed from Bowyer St.
This was done when the connection was made to Scott from
Limestone/Upper area.
Roszell's Feed and Grain elevator did
not last much past this photo and was replaced with produce stands
and chicken coops by the end of the decade. The building which
houses the Tolly-Ho is some years away from being built.
The street railway tracks served two
functions as the streetcar tracks went to the Red Mile/Fairgrounds
and the interurban cars turned down Angliana Ave on their way to
Versailles or the baseball park.
Below is the way that it looked last week

Maxwell Street, maybe a block or two before Rose Street, seems there is maybe one house on right that is not there anymore? What year is this by the way?
