Kensington Heights was first developed in 1926, and many of the homes in the area have a historical designation, and like the homes, the lights are from that era.

Those can be saved. They took those kind of lamps out of a neighborhood that I lived in as a child. It took an historic loss. We preserve things for a reason. Not everything but where the preserved architecture matches the rest of the infrastructure it works well. I'm with that guy that lives there.

its that simple to actually put led in it without changing the fixture, ive done it with a few 1960s lights myself and it preserves the fixture

Each pole and fixture needs to be evaluated in terms of deterioration and condition. Any pole and fixture that can be economically restored and updated to LED should be restored. Any pole and fixture that is too badly deteriorated or damaged needs to be replaced with a replica. There are lighting fixture manufacturers out there that can build new poles and fixtures to match existing design. You just cannot demand that every pole and fixture must be restored when they may be highly deteriorated or damaged and too far gone to economically restore. Your average pedestrian is not going to be able to identify replicas nor do they care as long as the fixture does its job of lighting the roadway at night. It would be ideal if every last pole and fixture could be repaired and restored to maintain that historical significance, but it is not always practical if the existing condition of a pole and fixture is beyond repair.

They look kind of rotted. might be best to replace them with replicas
