The distortion from the wide angle can be adjusted in Photoshop using Edit->Transform->Distort (or one of the other transformation options). You'll have to do some fairly severe distorting to get the light straight!
I only spent about 5 minutes to do this to show you what might happen, you might want to try the same effect, but only on a selection from the base of the light, assuming you already like the perspective of the building. As you can see the pole still has a bit of wow in it. As well, the building still leans (look at the window and the door). It really depends how much you want to change the perspective of the original. If you have PS, give it a go!
BTW, after I stretched a copy of the photo, I had to clone in several gaps in the sky to allow a rectangular selection for the final photo.
To be honest, I kind of liked the warped perspective .
