Greenwich Village Lamp

This is one of the few gas lamps remaining in Greenwich Village, New York City. And there is a door so I can post it for Thursday Doors. See Dan’s Swedish Room – No Facilities

A warmly lit staircase leading up to a dark entrance door, flanked by stone planters with leafy plants and a glowing lantern at the base.

    I believe it is the only one left. the used to be a town house on Leroy St. with another gas light, but its now electric. A nice reminder of what was.

      The lamp you mention is another old light in Greenwich Village. This one still burns gas.
