Lots of nice 1950's Americana is seen within this image of Oakland, Maine's business district. An electric distribution line is seen along the right with a "gumball" style street light. Above it is a smaller and simpler incandescent fixture, most likely a fire alarm box indicator with a red glass lens. A "cottage roof" cast iron call box (Gamewell style) is at eye-level on the same pole with a mail box immediately beneath it.
