Those wonderful old houses are such a great backdrop for the Model T Ford. I'd love to walk into that scene.
Thaks for posting it.

Yes it is. Wonderful house, look at all the gingerbread trim. Man they sure don't make 'em like that anymore do they. And this house could very well be still standing today! I'd love to walk into that house!! Bet then it either had several parlor stoves or the "big octopus" devouring coal like there was no tomorrow.

We still have a number of those old houses in the older parts of our cities here in California. They are pretty, but also very hard to paint!

Car appears to have a horn bulb on the drivers non-door, and black trim on the lamps. So likely a mid to late 1915. Electric horns began showing up on open cars about early June (I think?) 1915, black trim lamps during July 1915, but some cars still got bulb horns as late as probably September of 1915.

Great photo! Love the house.
