I’m thankful that a small number of “original” bishop crook lamps from the early 20th Century have been allowed to stand (mostly by default, but now most are landmarked) like this one at Grand and Centre Streets, which is still there.

Looking at it these days it seems landmarking requires the maintenance of the lean.
We wouldn’t want to change the angle of that tower in Pisa, either.
