View of Public Green from Maple Avenue.

Southwest view of the steps shows the Green populated with only four mature trees. (It now boasts over forty.) Columns and urns at the ends of the Green tower above grade in contrast to the surviving pillars at street level. Evenly-spaced street lamps extend around Maple and Birch Avenues. (Nearly identical reproductions have been mounted on the pillars at the entrances of Central and Pine Avenues.)   The lighting system was probably the first in the area, preceding municipal lighting installed by the Village of North Pelham shortly after its incorporation in 1896.
