A winter scene of the street light in my front yard; it is an Evanston Street Light designed by Thomas Tallmadge a Chicago based architect. I purchased it new and has been there for over 15 years. It comes in six pieces, all of them in cast steel except for the light head which is aluminum. I look at it all of the time and am glad it is there adding to the architecture of the house. I was very fortunate to find it. Now I have another that is an original from Evanston, Il., that will go in the back yard.

The best looking street light design.

Hello sir,
ReplyDeleteAs you said very well, we are swept away by life in deed. I am a Chicagoan, fan of the beauty Evanston has that makes part of the sweetest part of my childhood. Today I live in Brazil, for more than 30 years.
I was wondering if I could try to buy a couple of Tallmadge street lights to put in my backyard down here.
Can you recommend a contact that might sell and send me a couple of street lights (I'm in Sao Paulo, Brazil)? I don't have any idea of how much it would cost, so whatever information on it I would appreciate it...
Thanks,
Alexander.
