100 year old buildings that still have their original interior light fixtures? « on: January 02, 2021, 07:25:15 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
I am wondering if anyone knows of any US public buildings that were built in the 1910s, 1920s, or 1930s that still have their original interior light fixtures still in use such as schoolhouse pendants, duplexalite pendants, acorn pendants or brascolite pendants? I am curious about this because I really like the appearance of these old fixtures in public buildings and would love to explore such buildings for their lighting. I am specifically looking for buildings from that era that have not had any major renovations in which any original interior light fixtures were removed.

The oldest building I've seen was from 1950 with the original light fixtures and plumbing fixtures

Here is a picture I took in an old schoolhouse in western Michigan.  The light isn't technically original to the building, as the building was built in 1867 and used oil lanterns until electricity came to the area, but the light was put up when electricity was connected, and has remained up ever sense.

So far, I know of an art museum in Ontario, California that was built in 1937 and still has a decent number of schoolhouse fixtures still in use. Does anyone know of other buildings from the 1920s or 1930s that still have their original schoolhouse fixtures still in use?
