Old Wall Light
Here's a old wall pack like wall light from the 1970s-1980s, these were used in some areas of downtown to light the street and sidewalks instead of using poles and streetlights. Most of these have either been removed or have been replaced with 400w metal halide wallpacks. Some sections that were previously lit by these have since had poles reinstallled with new MH streetlights fixtures. 

I'm not sure if the remaining round wall lights still work or what light source they used. Old pictures and videos seemed to suggest that they were incandescent though.

Even these brick layout are incorporated to this fixture Very Happy

Yeah, that might be the reason they still kept the fixture up too. I rarely see new buildings with the lighting incorporated into the brickwork though.
