Cracked Concrete Light Pole, Mt Tabor Park

Close-up of cracks in this original 1911 concrete light pole, caused by corrosion (rusting) of either the internal wiring conduit, or the steel reinforcement (not visible in the picture). While these original poles were retained, the post top lighting was upgraded in 1924 from the original single white globes to the current polygonal lantern-style shades, reminiscent of gaslights, thanks to the vision of Parks Superintendent Emanuel T. Mische. Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon, USA.
