The R&GVRRM owns a 1909 Erie Railroad depot located to the south of Rochester, NY. (Rush-Scottsville area.) More details and a photo can be found here:

We are in the process of sprucing up the depot's interior and would like to find a close match to what it originally had for lighting. In particular, we are interested in the sconces that used to hang on it's interior walls. They are long gone, but their scars are still present. The railroad was electrified at the time of construction, so it's likely that the depot was built with electrical power and lights.
Here is the general style of the interior. You can see where the sconce was on the wall below the fire extinguisher sign:
Here is a remnant of one of the sconces. The mount was round with three mounting screws. It was 5 inches in diameter:
Finally, to give you a sense of the architectural elements of the building, here is one of the benches:
Here's the question: Does anyone have any idea what a station of this era and design had for lighting? I've been told that several Erie depots had similar interiors as ours. Perhaps someone has photos or examples from other stations?
