Description
Working Gas Lamp in unadopted road. Retains permanent pilot light. Made of cast iron to a design loosely based on the classical column, the lamp consists of a fluted shaft that tapers slightly towards the top. An unusual example of a finely detailed gas lamp. A simple four-sided lantern of metal and glass, crowned with a round finial detail, rests upon four curved metal supports, and a ladder-rest projects from its base.
