This structure faces Fitzhugh Avenue (the street forking to the left off the triangle, with Broad Street forking to the right) between Kent Road and Lafayette Street. Bowe Street is 25-30 blocks closer in to downtown.

That's Tantilla Gardens at the far left.

Yep, Tantilla as well as Tiny Town Bowling Alley, which shared the building.

Did the Tantilla have a ceiling that rolled back to open to the night sky? "Dance under the stars"?

Not exactly,bowling & pin-ball below,dancefloor on top!Many grat performers such as the "Platter's" played there.One of the last venues was "The Classics Four",had a date with a girl that "Dennis Yost" was about to fall of the stagewhile serenading her!

... there's always a boy leaning on a lamp-post ...

Streetview. While there is still a West End in Mallow, this is actually Main or Davis St., as noted by the photographer doing the Lawrence Photographic Project in 1990. The lack of statue in Lawrence's photo, dates it to pre. 1907 as that's when J.J. Fitzgerald was added.

Rafferty's Drapery in the 1901 Census.

The posters at left look promising... Almost legible. Hay auctions, apparently. Lower one may say GREENHILL AUCTION HAY THURSDAY mumble AUG 21 TONS The smaller poster board on the ground at left is for the Cork Examiner. Bottom headline something like BUNTING DISASTERS Top headline could be CONNECTION TO THE POPE Per wikipedia: Pius X's traditional coronation took place on the following Sunday, 9 August 1903 and on 1903-08-11, the Examiner had a story called CORONATION OF THE POPE There is also a BOATING DISASTER story, on the 11th! I think we have a match! Tuesday August 11th 1903. Someone with a newspaper subscription [ahem] might look at the other headlines that day, and see if any match the less legible lines here. Another possibility: I think that BOATING story is plural DISASTERS - was there a weekly edition on Saturday which might have covered the DISASTERS on the 11th and 14th, as well as the Pope? If so, it may be Saturday 15th of August, 1903

late 70's possibly the construction of the Haymarket Metro Station

The sculpture was removed from the top of the South African War Memorial (on the left of the picture) while the construction work was in progress.
