That was the main road in the old days. The "new" Alton road was built in 1965.

Car is possibly a pre-war Packard [pointed grille]. 🐻

We know that June Bakeman was a past owner of the cottage. This clipping
from 1938 states that they were there 6 months of the year. So unless they had another home in East Alton, our best guess is that the 2 'cabins' were already connected to each other to form the 'cottage' by then.
