Unidentified House

Here are what I believe are three photos of the outside of the same house. Does it look familiar to anyone? The curving wheel
tracks in the street might be a clue to the home's location (all photos are c. 1890-1908):

In the foreground, the sidewalk's 90-degree angle seems a bit unusual, given the apparent lack of a cross-street, but it would
explain the wheel tracks in the first photo. Perhaps the street jogged or had a corner that was later rounded off?:

At left, the home in the distance might be a helpful landmark to someone. At right is what appears to be the front of the house
seen in the previous two photos, so let's say the side of the unidentified house with the chimney is the left side:

From the previous image, here is a closer view showing the two windows flanking the chimney on the left side of the house.
Try to imagine what the inside of this corner room might look like . . . .





Is this the inside of that corner room? The windows flanking the fireplace look like the ones in the previous photo:
