Commissioned in 1926, the “White Way’ lamp posts were designed by Denman Fink and Phineas Paist.  Each of the four sides of the base contains a relief symbolic of the life of Coral Gables; Art and Architecture, Horticultural Planting, Labor, and Industry.  Art and Architecture and Horticultural Planting reliefs are represented by beautiful women with symbolic implements and Labor and Industry are represented by men with strong features, symbolic implements, and tools. Alternating between each are the Spanish castle and rampant lion, both significant symbols used often in Coral Gables designs. In 1981 the Coral Gables White Way Lamp Posts were designated a City Historic Landmark Site.

Restoration of original cast iron lamp posts and replication of original lamp posts in cast aluminum to match design and dimension exactly. This project is coordinated to be completed in 3 phases. Allen Metals has completed this work on Phase 1 of the project (13 restored cast iron poles and 9 new cast aluminum poles) and is currently working on Phase 2 of the project which consists of 19 new cast aluminum poles and a yet-to-be-determined quantity of original cast iron poles to be restored (as of 2.23.24). Phase 3 should begin in Late 2024 /Early 2025.
