I'm going to guess that this is circa 1900. The tracks in the street look like they come from a horse and buggy/wagon, not an automobile. There is one telephone pole, but no insulators or wire are visible. According to the Alton website:

"The Town’s first telephone switchboard was installed in 1884".
