A Rare Bit Of Antiquity

I passed by the Mountain States Telephone Building the other day, and noticed the museum piece sitting outside the entrance, as seen in the photograph above. And yes! It is indeed a telephone booth, an object I suspect Generation Z might not recognize. And no - the telephone inside does not work. It is only for display. The building was built in 1929 by the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, which later became Mountain Bell, to provide dial telephone service in Denver for the first time. No doubt Gen Zers would be fascinated by a telephone with a dial, that is stationary, and does not allow you to text. I think it would be enlightening for them to learn about the hardships of their pioneer ancestors, like me.
