    It has a certain dramatic touch that makes it very artistic. The glass window captures some added details by showing the view of the outside. Was this phone booth situated in a café or in an outdoor restaurant? Well, that would certainly make it a pleasant attraction to the customers.

      Thank you for your comment.
      It sat on a street corner in a small town in Ohio for a year as a public art project. The back of the booth was facing "Corner Cone," an ice cream cafe.
