Help to date a photo from 1890-1910

I recently found out that this photo is of the house of my g-g-g-grandfather, Jacob Seibert. Looking at census info, I've narrowed it down to sometime between 1890 and 1910, but since I don't know any of the people in it, other than pure speculation, I don't know how to get any closer than that. Any ideas?

Thanks.

hey.
judging by the clothes and the bicycle...i'd say probably 1900-1910...maybe even as close as 1905...but i'm like you other wise.
good luck.

it actrally looks to be from 1888 because this year was the year that "cycling" became a fad. the bike in the picture is a replica of the bikes used in that year. the bike could be older than that but it is estimated to be from 1888 to 1890.
