Annual Salon of Chattanooga Photography

Hi all, I was hoping to find out when this photograph might have been taken it is 11" x 14"
The US census puts Mr Piper in Chattanooga in 1940 at 40 years old with a wife and two children. So maybe he did this when he was in College. I don't have any access to sites to research hi m though?
I want to save it and put it in another frame. It is mounted on the cardboard that is broken so I will have to at least cut it down, But how to preserve the information and sticker on the back? And would it even be worth it if i want to sell it later?

In 1920 he applied for Passport to travel through various Middle Eastern countries on his was to attending the Protestant Syrian College. He stayed, married his wife Alice in Beiruit and worked at Provident Accident and Like Insurance Co as a consultng actuary.

Born in Somerville, MA 1899, died in Chattanooga in 1969. Given his college dates and location this had to have been done after he returned (and as a hobbyist.)

 

The first Annual Salon of Chattanooga Photography was 1913, so there's one end of the range. And I saw reference of them moving their exhibitions from the University to Hunter Museum in 1952.

 

I couldn't find the first salon. Thank you @moreotherstuff and @Bakersgma for the information

 

I don't think the first salon date matters - MOS has given it at 1913 when Piper was only 13 or 14.

 

I'd think 1950s-ish from the label.

The view looks like it might be from Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga.
