|| Mid-30s/Late-40s Downtown view of Chicago's Grant Park ||

The lost have been found... :)

Through some excellent historical snooping by a reader, the location of the picture below has been deduced to be Chicago's Grant Park. 

The memorial structure in the foreground of the image would be the original Bennett peristyle via 1917 (today a replica stands in it's exact place in Wrigley Square, which is now claimed by Millennium Park).
The date is still unknown but {due to the make of the sedans within the shot} is estimated to be anywhere within 1934-1947.

|| Atlas Statue ~ Reichstag & Bismarck Memorial ||

1). Kneeling Atlas statue by Berlin sculptor Reinhold Begas.
2). Seen in this photo at its secondary location in the Tiergarten of Berlin, Germany.
3). Originally located in the gardens of the Reichstag, however after a suspicious fire severely damaged the building in 1933, Nazi forces took control of the property; eventually relocating the Atlas and other Begas statues in 1938 to their present day location in the Tiergarten.
4). Photo is taken after relocation (post-1938).
5). Exact date unknown.

|| Downtown Snapshot of Unknown City ||

1). Unknown assumed American city.
2). Date guessed to be between early-thirties to mid-forties.
3). On closer inspection of photo, I noticed a Greek Revival memorial or public building of some kind in the background.
4). I attempted to identify the city by way of learning the location of the Parthenon-esque structure but was without success (I think we can safely rule out Nashville's Parthenon replica ). 
5). Please click on photo to view detail.

|| The Alsace-Lorraine Memorial, France||

1). The Alsace-Lorraine Memorial in Picardie, France.
2). The inscription on the memorial reads: "To the heroic soldiers of France / Defenders of the Fatherland and of Justice / Glorious liberators of Alsace-Lorraine".
3). I cannot be sure whether this is the original Alsace-Lorraine memorial, or the post-war reproduction.
4). You can read a nicely summarized history of the site and monuments here.
