Because of this I might guess the photo is more likely from 1936-38. I'm going to study the photo in greater detail and see if any other clues are hiding. So Ere, this is your dad and grandmother in the photo? Wow!

Yes, here they are about the same time standing in front of the Manson Apartments, where they lived, a few blocks to the west.
Those apartments have been renamed but still stand at 1611 Schrader Blvd.
Based on his age (born late 1931), the Vine Street view must be towards the end of your time frame.
They walked that route many times and he remembered her white outfit, and his cowboy chaps he used to wear.
