historic: Call Boxes ~ Mount Pleasant, DC - 07/01/08 01:03 PM
In Mount Pleasant, Washington, DC in the summer of 2004, nine call boxes were converted from their useless state of decay into pieces of art that convey the area's history in little dioramas created by sculptor Michael K. Ross in a program called "Art on Call." The boxes show time periods of when Indians inhibited the area, through the civil war to the present. The two I have chosen are "Casualties Arriving at Mount Pleasant General Hospital, May 1864", and "Mount Pleasant street, 2004."

This brass mailbox comes from The Dresden, on Connecticut Avenue, in Washington, DC, considered one of DC's best addresses.  Not that this is a- typical in DC on other historic buildings, this just had detailing that was intresting and still had the original lock. I forgot to ask if it was still in use.

This came from a home in NW, Washington DC on Yuma Street. It appeared in the entry foyer of the 1922 home. It was owned at one time by Senator Phil Gram. It was noted by the owner of the home that the eagle's head was facing the wrong way for this style of crest.
