This is Fifth Street in Boyertown, PA, behind Ritner's State Theatre (white building on the left).
In elementary school I was friends with a girl who lived in one of the row homes pictured here. I don't know about the others, but the house she lived in was divided into two apartments, and she lived in the upstairs apartment.
Back then, the Boyertown Casket Company was still standing, so you wouldn't have been able to see the trees behind the houses. (And I doubt the sun would have shone that much on them, either.)

I lived at 16 West Fifth Street from 1955 (birth) until 1974. The house in question is 22 West Fifth Street, or the second house from the old alley now an entrance to St. John's church.
