A higher voltage (possibly transmission) line extended along the left evident by the larger insulators once employed upon it. On the right are local electric lighting circuits including an early incandescent street light mounted upon a "gooseneck" style pipe bracket. This community is in northwest Massachusetts. For decades since the 1890s General Electric performed ongoing experiments in the general vicinity, particularly with high voltage transmission and protective lightning utility equipment. In addition Lenox is not too far from GE's long-time headquarters in Schenectady, New York.
