Probably around 1910. The upper deck wasn't extended past the left field foul pole until about then. This is definitely West Side Grounds. That park, like Wrigley, had buildings beyond the left field wall where people would sit on the roof to watch the games. It also had buildings beyond the right field wall, but by 1910 those were mostly blocked from seeing into the park by a giant scoreboard and billboard.
