I’m looking for higher-resolution photos of a building that used to house my local library. I can see it in Google Street View, but I’d like to find other photos of that specific location or building if possible. Are there online services or search tools that let you search by place name, map location, or even by uploading a reference image?

Flickr has quite a good map feature for photos that have geo-tagging info:

Yes. A few useful options mentioned are:
- Flickr Map: Flickr has a map view for geotagged photos, so you can browse images taken at or near a specific location.
- Panoramio / map-based photo layers: Map-based photo services can help you search by place name or by navigating on a map. In Google Maps, you can also check the Photos layer for user-contributed images around a location.
- Google image search by image: If you have a reference shot of the building, uploading it can help Google find visually similar images.
In practice, the best approach is usually to search by location first using map-based photo services, then try image-based search if you already have a photo of the building.
