Here’s a vintage Bishop Crook lamp that none of my reference materials cite — it’s completely forgotten and overlooked, on the west side of Riverside Drive between West 143rd and West 144th. It was installed anywhere between 1910 and 1940 and has lost its luminaire; the chocolate-colored paint has completely flaked off the crook, showing the iron underneath.
Of course now that I have shown it, the Department of Transportation will carry it away forthwith, but why not rewire it and light it up again?
