Forgotten New York

CITIGROUP LIGHTS

What are likely New York’s most minimalist lampposts can be found surrounding the 1977 slant-roofed Citigroup Center, on Lexington and 3rd Avenues and East 53rd and 54th Street. Some are simple unadorned posts with two square luminaires at the top, while on corners, what is a cross-shaped post viewed from above it holds stoplights and pedestrian signals unlike the other familiar ones produced by Marbleite on regulation NYC posts.
