Some of the chairs in the last picture look like adirondacks

The Lee–Bunnell chair, however, had a single plank for the chair back; it was not until 1938 that the fan-shaped back with slats was patented by Irving Wolpin.[3][4] Adirondack chairs are now often made by injection molding and can take any form.

That puts it sometime after 1938, matching the body style of the cars, which feels early to mid 40s to me

1939 Ford Tudor sedan?

I think (based off of another persons comment in a historical car subreddit) it’s a 1939 D11 Dodge sedan (but google image guessed it was a ford so you’re not off base)

I’m gonna say late 40s. I live in a neighborhood with houses just like that, all built shortly after WW2 in time for the baby boom.
