San Diego electric arc tower in 1887
To improve the history section of the article, can anyone elaborate on the caption of this photo? The electric arc tower appears to be on the west side of Fifth Avenue, perhaps around Broadway. Was it a practical means of lighting, or more in the way of a stunt or advertisement? Was it a one-off, or was there a network of such towers around town? --Worldbruce (talk) 05:24, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
