You will find this beautiful red telephone booth at the Canadian exhibition at the World Showcase at Epcot in Disney World. It appears to contain a working telephone, too.
Canadian????? English you mean!!! When they started replacing them in England, a lot of French people bought some. I have a friend whose parents have one at the bottom of their garden in the countryside of central France!
Isn't it funny that in a day and age where we don't need phone booths anymore, lots of places keep these? I bet there are at least 6 in Mt. Village here.
that's an old Genereal Post Offcie ( GPO) phone box from the UK.They were originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as the result of a competition in 1924 to design a kiosk that would be acceptable to the London Metropolitan Boroughs

What a great color! You hardly see phone booths anymore.

Well, sheesh! It was at the Canadian place...doesn't that make it Canadian "style"?
They are pretty neat, right?
Better check back tomorrow...
