Mount Vernon is a small place on I-5, about 40 miles from the Canadian border. A couple of good lighting sights here, firstly 2 rare GE Form 101FR fixtures, doubly rare as they are catenary wire mounted. They are located on Montgomery St, either side of 2nd St downtown. As I didn't see any evidence of enternal ballasts, I'm guessing they are incandescent (I didn't see them at night).

One of the catenary wires is anchored to the side of Lyon's Furniture & Sleep Center- also on the side of that building are two old incandescent floods. It looks like they are pointing at something that is no longer there, or were perhaps for the parking lot across the street. In the closeup pic, there is "Made in USA" cast into the fixture, but no maker's name unfortunately. The Form 101FR pictured is in good condition with no holes in the glass or dents in the body.
