Flowery call box

This is the back of the call box in the shot below. After doing more research on these historic boxes scattered around the District, I realized that this one is a police call box; the fire boxes were designed in the shape of a house. I saw one of those yesterday but wasn’t able to get a shot of it.

Very pretty. Is it historical or does it still work and people can call police for emergency? V.

Both sides are beautifully designed. They should keep them as street decors. ~VVVV~
