The living room is a very important place in a house so many people are thinking about interior design living very well. Everyone tried to choose the best furniture for the living room such as chairs, tables, decoration, sofa, shelves, and so forth. In addition, they also think of material for...

This light fixture is in the cover over the gas pump area at a 7-11. That really looks to me like LED lighting. Kudos again to 7-11 for leading the way on rational, efficient outdoor lighting. It takes an impressive amount of bright LEDs to light up a large outdoor area. That couldn't have been cheap, but I expect they are saving on electricity. They loose points for having them on in the daytime, though. At first, I thought some of the LEDs were burned out, but now it looks like such a symmetrical pattern here, and in another photo of a similar fixture, that I think it's just the way the fixture is made.
The first Statler Hotel had 300 rooms and bathrooms and was constructed in 1908; it was located on the corner of Washington and Swan in downtown Buffalo. With Ellsworth Statler's original Statler Hotel, he created the Statler Plumbing Shaft wherein bathrooms backed up to a service shaft that contained the plumbing stack. Statler was the first major hotel chain to have a bathroom in every room.
This is Statler's second hotel in Buffalo. It was completed in 1923 and was designed by George B. Post. It had 1,100 rooms (more than all of the other hotels in Buffalo combined). Part of it was converted to offices in 1948 and it formally closed as a hotel in 1982. It is still not open as a hotel, but the ballrooms and lobby are undergoing renovation for rental.
Light Fixture in the theater area of the State Theater
STATE THEATRE - PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE
The State Theatre was hailed as "the largest, finest and most beautiful playhouse in Western Pennsylvania," upon its opening in the fall of 1922. With many accolades it became a "picture place," showing silent movies and presenting vaudeville's finest acts from the B.F. Keith Circuit.
Thomas Lamb, a nationally known theater architect, designed the State. He is best known for his work in the 18th century Robert Adam's style of architecture and for his fine acoustical planning. The Ingstrip-Burke Company of Chicago, Art Designers, decorated the interior of the Moderne structure in the Adam's style. The theme was that of "refinement of line and chasteness of ornamentation." The artist in charge, Michael Tomlin, educated at the School of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia, pronounced himself well-satisfied: "It is better than I hoped, it is what I dreamed."
The State Symphony Orchestra held forth in the pit with a $40,000.00 Pleubet Master Organ at the left front of the main floor - accompanying the silent films to fit the mood. As the Big Band sound emerged, the State hosted some of the country's greatest musical attractions including Paul Whitman, Glen Gray and the Dorsey Brothers.
The popularity of "talkies" signaled the end for in-house musicians and the end of vaudeville. Although the greatest names in Hollywood flickered across the screen and epics such as Gone With the Wind drew packed audiences, the State's days as a movie palace were numbered. Television took away a sizable audience and the movie theatre trend turned to multiple screens and smaller auditoriums: The State Theatre closed in June 1973.
After a number of years the theatre reopened as The State Music Hall, featuring county and western music legends like Johnny Cash, Slim Whitman, Waylon Jennings and The Statler Brothers. Though popular for a time, the State Music Hall concept did not work out and the theatre closed again.
In 1988, The Greater Uniontown Heritage Consortium purchased the theatre, restored its old name and began presenting aseries of professional programs ranging from Broadway musicals to big bands, symphonies to country music superstars. The State Theatre offers a children's series of shows and provides educational programming for school groups. A multi-million dollar restoration project is currently underway to restore the "Grand Old Lady of Main Street" to her original splendor.
In 1924, construction began on the Mizpah Shrine Temple, promising to provide Northeast Indiana with a much-needed community meeting place to host speakers and theatrical productions as well as banquet facilities. The auditorium sat over 2,400 patrons, while the Banquet Hall could seat over 2,000.
Construction began in April 1924, using about 200 workers. Local labor was employed as much as possible in the project. The excavation of the Ballroom took two steam shovels and six weeks to complete. More than 350,000 bricks were used in the construction with hundreds of barrels of cement mixed with gravel and water. The building was said to be the most "fire-proof" structure in the city at the time.
On November 18, 1925, the Mizpah Shrine celebrated the grand opening with their ceremonial and grand ball. The first public event that weekend was a performance of "Aida," performed by the Chicago Grand Opera Company. Many premier events followed that grand opening weekend, including "Ziegfield Follies" with Fannie Bryce and a young Eve Arden, Mae West in her controversial play "Sex,"
In 1937, during the Depression, the Mizpah Shrine lost the temple into receivership. Kaplan Realty bought it at a reported cost of only $52,500.
in the 30's and 40's, the Ballroom was used as an indoor golf course. Army recruiting offices were also housed in the facility for a time.
In 1945, the Quimby Theater chain leased the Auditorium for a 20-year time period at a reported $380,000.
In 1953, the Scottish Rite purchased the Auditorium and Ballroom from KMK Realty Co., and purchased the remainder of the Quimby lease. The original Scottish Rite Cathedral was located on Washington and Clinton streets, but was torn down over ten years after the Scottish Rite moved to the current facility.
In 1958, a large renovation (and the last major renovation prior to current efforts) was conducted, which included updating the Valencia Ballroom, kitchen, sound system, new auditorium curtains, installation of a Wurlitzer concert organ and painting the Horseshoe Lobby.

An old light fixture at Lincoln Station in Lincoln, Nebraska. Three exp done up in HDR using both photmatrix and topaz adjust. On the night of my parents wedding they stood on this very platform and possibly under this very light fixture.
My last photos from the World War II Temporary Buildings at the Fort Leonard Wood Museum.
The chapel is not in its original location, but was moved here to protect it from demolition and add it to the historic district. These light fixtures are recreations of the original ones from the WWII era.
We worked on the preservation plan for these buildings a few years back and they're looking great! If you're traveling along I-44, I suggest taking a pit stop and see these remarkable leftovers.
After Norman worked his repair magic, we can now rest easier that the lamps will no longer be a fire hazard. The CFL's generate less heat, use less energy and the fixtures are no longer too hot to the touch.
Lamp EJS Model 1204, 1959
Crystal Lights Chandelier
kinetic light art installation
The Crystal Lights Chandelier is an art installation for the Tsvetnoy Central Market, a new department store in central Moscow.
The 14 meter wide and six meter deep hanging sculpture evokes the impression of a giant crystal chandelier formed by 49 two meter high crystal shaped light elements.
The installation generates everchanging shape variations, movement and light animations within the array of light elements.
In the evening the chandelier starts to glow like a flower of light. At night the art piece falls into hybernation with only very few movements but a very strong pulsating heartbeat of light giving the Tsvetnoy market with its glass facade a unique landmark appeal in Moscows night scenery.

"None of the other catalogues showed wood wall brackets remotely like this shape - one of those details where everyone had something slightly different. The catalogue states the bracket is walnut.
This catalogue is 1959, so perhaps if your light is original to the 1955 home EJS had evolved the design a little by this time. The 1204 sold for $19.40 in 1959. Using
www.measuringworth.com/calculators/compare/ that is approximately $145.00 today."

Most acorn and carosel style lamps are absurdly ineffective. This style, with the light receeded into the cap makes for a full-cutoff outdoor light that shines light correctly onto the ground.
I wish my city had lights like this instead. These were found at a park in Parker, Colorado - a city who's logo is an icon of light pollution. Whoever did the lighting in O'Brien Park understood correct lighting principals.
