Google books returns a document that lists N. Harlan in American Bottler in 1904, and prohibition started in 1920.
The place looks pretty run-down, so I'll take a WAG, 1925.

It's amazing how dull and ugly siding and satellite dishes make a building.

538 Dorchester Avenue. The house next door would have been built around 1900, like 546 Dot Ave.

Since they're still advertising IPA and Lager, I'm going to say pre-prohibition, 1915 to 1919.
