Doesn't look like the same place to me. More like two similar pictures of different places.
How could it be any more similar? It's a difference of almost 90 years
Well I was trying to find one thing that was exactly the same. The ground is level in the top photo. The curve in the curb is different. One building has a step down in the doorway, but not the other. The wall between the two buildings appears to be wider in one photo. I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying as far as I'm concerned, it could just be two very similar structures at two different times.

But also remember that asphalt is removed and re-applied about once every 20 years. The asphalt was probably redone at least 3 times. There's a lot of possibility for slight variation over such a long period of time.
