Historic street lights get new globes

<< Back to archives | Sunday, January 9, 2011

With the 1890 era Pythias Building as a background, Dwaine of Bellingham Public Works installs new white globes on one of our historic styled lamp posts.  In all, 27 of the double light posts had their globes replaced.  The old globes, some even more crudded that the one shown, had reduced light output and did not light the streets sufficiently.  Safety is still important even in an historic district.  The first lights in Fairhaven in the 1890s were probably gas fired.  But these posts go very well with our historic district, even though they are more of a 1920s theme. 

We thank the Public Works Department, and especially Clark Williams, for working with the Old Fairhaven Association to find the right globes and upgrade the lights for the safety of all.
