But it looks like the old lamppost on Sunset from that earlier photo you posted is still there, with a modern-day cobrahead light instead of the old gumball lumiere.

It looks as if not only has the lamp standard survived all these years (if not the lamp itself), but that the palms are the same ones, grown tall. And up Hill Place, it looks as if the same five telephone poles are in the same place--that even their angles relative to one another are nearly the same. (Can even creosoted wooden poles last so long?) If the buildings have to change, at least it's interesting to find that these sorts of details often don't.
