I couldn’t find a year nor a proper source for this picture, sorry. Given the car, I’d say Progressive Era cannot be far from being a good fit.
Try to locate where exactly this photo was taken. I can give hints later if you wish.

This looks like the place:
spoiler
104-114 East Poinsett Street, Greer, SC
Number 112 is second from the corner and looks remarkably unchanged. The corner building lost its cornice, but other than that is recognizable. Picture probably taken c 1910? At least that’s what the website below indicates, and the Ford cars seem about right for that timing.

That was indeed the location I had found browsing Streetview – luckily for me there is barely more than 1 historical street in the town, as I ‘visited’ all other possible street parts before the right one :-)
Thank you very much for the website, it’s very informative.
Concerning the building in the corner, I thought it had just been revamped a bit, but I now believe that its whole facade has been rebuilt. The top is different, the 2 corniches have disappeared, and yet the modern facade is homogenous (it’s doesn’t show signs of additions, removals from different eras). In fact, I think that the present window is not as tall as it was, and we are fooled because it was made in the same style as the old one.
If so, the 2nd building from the corner would be the only one, the facade of which has not been rebuilt in the past century.
