By 1897 Japan was pretty heavily modernized, that street is I guess is just from a more 'traditional' part of the city. I'd assume it's a lot like what earlier 19th or 18th century places might have looked like.

Felice Beato's photos from the 1860s are probably the most 'authentic', since they mostly pe-date the Meiji period.

Central Asia was kind of shitty after the Silk Road lost importance. Those dried-brick structures tend to just fall apart if they aren't maintained properly.

Most of those buildings have been restored or rebuilt now.
