The lights don't seem very large from the ground looking up, but their size is deceiving as these pictures show! And they're HEAVY too! World's Fair collector Gary Holmes salvaged this Fair streetlight from the backyard of an area restaurant that was about to go bankrupt. The restaurant had acquired them at one of the Fair's "Going-out-of-Business" sales.

Access to the lamps
within was gained by removing screws holding the plates on the
top of the light. The triangular shaped base held speaker equipment
for the Fair's sound system. Gary's light would make a "+"
shape if you looked at it from above. The section he is holding
in the picture on the right mounts onto the gray section of the
light on the left.
