That's what it looks like at first, but it's on a different angled plane. Look at the 3 "5"surfaces- JudyM Nov 2019 #13

Although, I think a Junior Mint would have been the least of the worries in that picture.

What’s with the angle of the wall with the clothing sign? Seems it’s cutting behind the storefronts.

they are 3 different angled planes marked “5” on the right, with the 2 lower ones at 90 degrees to each other... that other one (the back wall) seems like it cuts through those buildings. Showed it to a photographer friend just now, she agreed and commented that it looks like it might be a movie set, not that that’s likely, but this is strange.

You could take that 1897 picture in West Virginia today and it would look much the same.
