Wilshire Boulevard designated by The Octagon Museum of the American Architectural Foundation as one of the 'Grand American Avenues' was decorated with this Wilshire Special pole and lantern for nearly six miles of its length.  Approximately 100 poles still remain over the distance of about one-and-a-half miles.  The original lanterns are solid bronze and stand 7½ feet tall from the base of the lantern to the top of the finial.
