Where is this?

Editor:
I thought maybe the Fairmount Hotel but that burned in the 1890's.

Googling images of "men's attire" for different time frames, I date the picture to somewhere between 1910-1920. 

I can't think of any tall buildings existing at that time.

I was thinking 406 prospect myself, which is what Bob also noted.   but while it was built in the 1920's at the latest, it didnt burn until 1931.(the first time it was severely damaged by fire). 

just watching:
The photo shows no incline, no hill.  Therefore it can't be the corner of Prospect Avenue and Passaic Streets, which is where #406 Prospect stands.  I still say this is another city, most likely Paterson.

Editor:
I'm posting the screen-grab below so you can see the source. I'm also asking for more information.

May be one for History Detectives on the History Channel.
