It was phoneless and a relic of the days when such phone booths graced the landscape on many a corner, useful for calling a cab, a cop or for telling the spouse that the stop at the corner tavern had taken a little longer than… And the residents of the old Port Blakely Cemetery across the street used it to make their phone calls across the void
