SENECA AVENUE LAMP, Ridgewood

by Kevin Walsh

A pair of lampposts at Seneca Avenue and Palmetto Street have masts that take unusual twists to get around the elevated train girders that support the M train, on the last portion of the Myrtle Avenue el still surviving.

Well into the 1980s, perhaps 1990s, this pair of posts, catercorner to each other, supported incandescent lights, but I never had the prescience to photograph them — and I would have been probably the only person who would have.
