In rural areas it is common that for power supply small pylons are set up on the roof, which carries the powerline for the power supply. But these pylon carry lines for voltages below 1000 volts.

Buildings with pylons on the roof for high voltage ( > 1000 volts) are rare, but they exist! Look at the pictures of http://www.industcards.com/st-coal-poland.htm . On some of the power plant buildings electricity pylons were built! ( I know many power plants at Germany, but I never saw such in Germany)

But on a shed at Fulda Railway Station you can find a pylon for a 110 kV single phase AC line for electric rail power supply. Look on http://www.progforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=791&d=1130756645 .

Do you know further examples. Post pictures!
