Sputnik in Philadelphia
The Sputnik light fixture in the South Portal (also known as the Judicial Entrance) of City Hall in Philadelphia. It does not fit in with the style and keystones, lionsheads and serpents so it does kind of stick out like a sore thumb and was not part of the original design- it was added in the 1950's.
My apologizes to SrCohiba who also took a photo of this and I saw him looking at it and I took one too. His is much better but it's not up yet so you have to look at mine for now! :-)
