Gas lighting, from a century ago
Awhile back we stopped at Duarte’s Tavern in Pescadero, CA, which was founded roughly a century ago (I think the building predates the restaurant). They still had a couple of non-functional gas lamps on the wall, with wicks and everything. I took a couple of photos, which I show below. They look a lot like Coleman lanterns (roughly the same tech).
PS. We highly recommend Duarte’s for pie, grilled fish, and their amazing crab melts, among other things. If in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by.
