Biographical Info.
|
Bio. |
|
This lamp stand is an exact replica of the center light installed at
Ferry Circle in 1870. It was replaced in 2002 following reconstruction
of the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed roundabout at Ferry Circle. This
project is the culmination of public-private collaboration involving
the City of Buffalo, Erie County, Olmsted Parks Conservancy, Richmond
Neighborhood Community Association, Symphony Circle Steering
Committee, Kleinhans Community Association, Colgate Industries, and
the Rupp Foundation. The light weighs 6,500 lbs., is composed of 95%
carbon steel and 5% fiberglass, and runs on 110 volts of electricity. |
