Is it a case of artistic license? -or were they really there?
* I stand corrected. I just looked at HossC's postcard again and I see flagpoles in the darkness!!
I just went back in the thread and yes there ARE flagpoles there....but none seem to have flags flying.
update:
Here's a group of photograph I posted way back on page 5...and yes, one photo has flags flying.  < I'm red faced.

The flag poles on the Richfield Building are certainly quite anonymous, but here are a couple more images. This picture shows the poles complete with flags on a still day in 1957. The full picture was posted by

An article on ladailymirror.com includes the undated picture below. It clearly shows two flags flying.
