Marker Text: ​This is one of 27 that remain out of 31 towers erected 1894-95 and in continuous use since. Their carbon arc lights then illuminated entire city. Now mercury vapor lamps provide beacons for many miles on roads and airways, from dusk to dawn. Austin is said to be unique in this dramatic method of lighting. (1970)
