The XXXX is not a work of art (9)

The largest XXXX in this group has a XXXXX that is four or five feet in diameter. It could be 60 feet tall or taller. I believe this XXXX must be 60 or 80 years old. It is in front of a house that was built in 1890. Our house, around the corner, was built in 1885. (For reference, the XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX occurred in 1871.)
