Side view of the billiard table and the lighting fixture above the table. This billiard table is located in the Billiard / Sitting Room at the Eastman mansion. Behind this table is a raised platform for watching billiards. The woodwork in this room is teak. This type of exotic wood has been in use for shipbuilding and in fine architecture for more than 2,000 years. The wood was fashioned into shallow panels that showed the grain and color of the wood to its best advantage, and the floor boards were joined with butterfly pegs. This room was a billiard room for only a short time, as Eastman had the billiard table moved upstairs to his second-floor bedroom in 1908, making this room into an informal sitting room. The decision was made to restore it as the earlier Billiard Room to show Eastman's informal and recreational side. Located at the George Eastman House and Gardens, 900 East Ave in Rochester, NY
Octavio the Telephone Pole has stood on this spot for years. He's seen faces. He's seen clouds. He's carried the burden of lights, speakers, banners and bird poop. Octavio is old and his mind is not hitting on all cylinders any more. But, every once in a while, Octavio flashes on life before insanity and then, just as quickly, he's gone again.

This is a close up George Eastman's billiard table and the lighting fixture above it, located in the Billiard / Sitting Room at the mansion. To the right of the billiard table is a raised platform for watching billiards and also used for storage. The woodwork for the Billiard Room is teak. This is the same exotic species of wood which has been in use for shipbuilding and in fine architecture for more than 2,000 years. The wood was fashioned into shallow panels that showed the grain and color of the wood to its best advantage, and the floor boards were joined with butterfly pegs. This room however, was used for only a short time as a billiard room. Eastman had the billiard table moved upstairs to his second-floor bedroom in 1908, making this room into an informal stitting room with much of the same furniture. The decision was made to restore it as the earlier Billiard Room to show Eastman's informal and recreational side. Located at the George Eastman House and Gardens, 900 East Ave, in Rochester, NY.

Design for a chandelier, on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
Edward F. Caldwell & Company (1895-1959) was one of the pre-eminent lighting design firms of the first half of the 20th century. The actual designer(s) of this fixture are not known.
This particular design was commissioned by architect Laurence Emmons, who was active in the 1920s and 1930s. The fixture was part of his work in 1930 designing the Barbizon-Plaza Hotel in New York City.
It is a modernized version of a Regency Style chandelier. Regency style (known as Federal Style in the United States and French Empire Style in France) was a design common during the Regency era in the early 19th century.

Happy anniversary to Mildred McAfee (Horton), the first woman officer to break the Naval glass ceiling by being commissioned into the Naval Reserve, on this day, August 3rd, 1942.
"Mildred Helen McAfee was born in Parkville, Missouri, on 12 May 1900. She graduated from Vassar College in 1920 and received the degree of Master of Arts from the University of Chicago in 1928. Miss McAfee pursued a career in higher education and became President of Wellesley College in 1936. Taking a leave of absence from that position, she became the Navy's first female line officer on 3 August 1942. Commissioned a Lieutenant Commander in the Naval Reserve, she simultaneously undertook the demanding task of Director of the Navy's newly-established Women's Reserve. In November 1943, following the passage of new legislation by the Congress, she was promoted to the rank of Captain.
As its first Director, Captain McAfee guided the growth of the WAVES ("Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service") to a force of more 80,000 Navy women in a variety of occupational specialties. Following her marriage to the Reverend Dr. Douglas Horton in August 1945, she took the name of her husband. Captain Horton continued on active duty until February 1946, when she returned to the Presidency of Wellesley College. Captain Mildred McAfee Horton died on 2 September 1994," from www.history.navy.mil/photos/pers-us/uspers-m/m-mcafee.htm .

This is a shot of a section of the Billiard Room at the Eastman House. This room has teak paneling which is the same species of exotic wood that has been used in shipbuilding and fine architecture for more than 2,000 years. The wood was fashioned into shallow panels that showed the grain and color of the wood to its best advantage, and the floor boards were also teak, joined with butterfly pegs. The room was in fact a billiard room for only a short time, for George Eastman moved the billiard table upstairs to a second-floor-bedroom in 1908, making this room an informal living room with much of the same furniture. For the remaining twenty-four years here it was a quiet retreat where he could read his newspapers and magazines, and, in the 1920s, listen to his radio. The decision was made to restore it as the earlier billiard room to show Eastman's informal and recreational side. The plaster ceiling ornaments were reproduced from photographic evidence, as were the chandeliers, all of which had been eventually removed by Eastman. Notice the fancy lighting fixture above he billiard table. Behind the billiard table is a raised platform for watching billiards, which was also used for storage. Located at the George Eastman House and Gardens, 900 East Avenue in Rochester, NY.
The advantage is that the perch was off the ground. Walkers can't climb. Even the former linemen weren't coordinated enough any more to climb.
The disadvantage was that when 4,623 walkers accidentally push on the pole, the structure falls. Dinner time!
