Concrete phone and tool buildings

[NW Mailing List]

Someone in Bristol has listed a free concrete phone/tool booth to anyone
that can haul this 4,000 pound item away.  They claim it was once used in
Rural Retreat but we don't have any record or photo of it here.  Does anyone
know if these buildings were placed at any particular location relative to
the depot? 

These buildings are described, along with a lot of other concrete
structures, in this 1915 issue of Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way
that was scanned by Google.  This may be old hat to you veterans but I found
several of the articles to be quite interesting.  Here is the link that
takes you directly to the article on concrete buldings:
