Photograph taken looking south, further up along Nantasket Avenue (the main road through town) in the business/residential part of town, possibly a mile north from the famed Paragon Amusement Park.

Atop these poles are primary circuits (probably 2,200V) that led from the Light Plant's facilities on Electric Avenue (now Edgewater Avenue; the original office and indoor substation buildings still stand and are among Hull's foremost historical landmarks). The short two-pin crossarm (lowermost on the pole) in the foreground supported a circuit for the town's fire alarm system. Note that the crossarm for this has two diagonal bolt holes within it for mounting (these were pretty well phased out with single-bolt crossarms by 1910). Sidepins were used further along this fire alarm circuit route as you will note.

DC power for the town's street railway system was strung along the two-pin arms that were immediately beneath the Light Plant's six-pin-crossarm electrical distribution lines (above the fire alarm wires).
