Photo taken within this midwestern community around 1930. Note the classic electric distribution lines with period high voltage wood pole construction above these vintage circuits.

Added note: Pretty cool how they took that ornamental post top streetlight (on the right) and built it through the building's porch roof! Or was the roof built around the lightpost?
