The Union Township Series

For years, the Carnegie library in Ripley, Ohio had wanted to change the exterior lighting fixtures--the last ‘upgrade’ was in the early 1990s with white 16” globes on a stick. We looked at many off the shelf styles as well as some fine artisan crafted lights, but nothing seemed to be at the scale or the design that would work.

One of our board members found the website for Old California, and we got excited—the column lights really looked elegant and possible. We reached out to Old California and we were thrilled with the communication...[they] custom designed the fixtures, picking up a pattern from the original leaded glass... (how cool is that!)

Now the Union Township design is available to everyone. Working with the Old California team was delightful and inspiring. Now the lighting that we never had before looks ‘original’ and beautiful, befitting our charming 1915 library. Column lights, wall lights and pole lights all beautifully grace our building and our town.
