Here is picture I found that I took last year in Pittsburgh of a pole with six wooden birdhouse cutouts on it! It appears that this pole has a pair of 4.16kv circuits coming up from underground. I was told Duquesne Light (who owns the pole) has the oldest functioning distribution system in the country, and after seeing this I believe it! I think this pole is at Chatham Square and Watson Street just outside downtown Pittsburgh.
