The inspiration came from metal lanterns Greene and Greene designed. Actually, the proportions and the base were the inspiration. The grand lantern, all alone, on a long balcony looks so cool at the Gamble House!
The cypress stump is a temporary substitute for a base in this picture. It seems to be the right size though. We're experimenting with building a stone and brick base for the lantern. A bit of a challenge but not insurmountable.
Now we need to find a permanent location for the lantern...
