Technically named the Central Park Redux, Angelenos know these as the Melrose Hill Special, named after the small East Hollywood community of Craftsman bungalows where they’re found. As opposed to boulevard lampposts, which were designed to throw light over a large area, this is an example of a residential lamppost. The Melrose Hill Special stands 13’ high, designed to cast softer pools of light while still helping residents feel safe walking home at night. Though they have a very old feel to them, these were installed in 1984 – they were, in fact, designed to look like a 1910 model. These lampposts are officially called the Central Park Redux because over 1,000 of them are dotted around the paths in New York City’s Central Park.
