call box: Call Boxes ~ Mount Pleasant, DC
- 07/01/08 06:03 AM
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."

call box: Old Call Box DC
- 06/11/08 07:09 AM
Here is a piece of technology I had not seen before. This is an old call box for the two apartments of this town-house in on Irving Street, Columbia Heights, DC. This came originally with the home per the owner selling the home, built around 1913. This one had two tubes to talk into, running to the apartments for vocal and an electric buzzer to get your attention.
