We know it's State/Long Wharf because:
- Sign pointing right to Long Wharf.
- "Old Long Wharf Salt House"
We know it's Atlantic because of the elevated train station.

Stairs on the left for Atlantic Avenue El (State Street station?). Which would put it after 1901 (but not long after based on other evidence).

Dioxogen ads on the stair treads. It was a brand of hydrogen peroxide.
Here's their magazine ad:

...just before they began construction on what's now the Blue Line.
Many of the photos in this series are pre-construction views, showing the "before" conditions along new transit lines.
