Iowa, I want to say 1912 but could be 1914. Drastically uncluttered. Could it be Family Day? The spotted floor and tin ceiling only add more charm.
These are great Herb.

On the left is an early '11 Open Runabout with one-piece front spindles and other such features.

The car at left rear is also a 10-11 Torpedo as is the one at right rear. Right front appears to be a 1912 Buick Model 28. Looks to be a dealership in the barest sense. 4 naked bulbs hanging from fixtures. Left rear has a shade over what I guess is the office area. You can see cabinets with catalogs on top over the heads of the little girls to the left. Double doors in rear open to machine shop/ repair area/ parts area. Flume coming in from back wall on right to wood stove on right to keep warm when it was snowing out on the plains. My guess is a general store converted to a garage at the beginning of the last century.
