Pinpointing the Dates of Photos Labeled 1905 to 1945 – Could They Be From the 1930s?

We need some help figuring out the dates of these photos from the Library of Congress. They were labeled 1905 to 1945, but could they be from the 1930s? Let's explore the clues and see what we can discover!
September 1935. A closeup of the Washington, D.C., row house seen here over the weekend. "Front of old brick structure in section near Union Station. Land is low here and water collects in front and backyard after a rain and remains for many days. Entrances to privies are usually under water. Interior of homes similar in shabbiness to exterior." 35mm nitrate negative by Carl Mydans for the Resettlement Administration.
