This is another way that DC’s old police and fire call boxes are being used — to identify historic landmarks around the city. The Carolina Theatre opened on Capitol Hill in 1913, was closed in 1952 and demolished in the early 1970s to make way for an office building, which has now been converted into condos.

The box is a different shape from the one I posted earlier http://pbase.com/helenpb/image/175944635 — that of a house, meaning it was a fire call box rather than a police check-in box like the other one.
