Prairie Grove Airlight Outdoor Telephone Booth

The Prairie Grove Airlight Outdoor Telephone Booth is a telephone booth installed at the southwest corner of East Douglas and Parker Streets in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, in the United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 9, 2015, becoming the first structure of its kind to be added the list.
==Description and history==
The phone booth is located on the east side of Prairie Grove, opposite the entrance to Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park on U.S. Highway 62,〔 and in front of the Colonial Motel. It is a structure built out of aluminum with a satin finish, and glass window walls, with a bifold door that folds inward, topped by a red panel marked "TELEPHONE". It rests on a small concrete pad, with the door facing the highway, and measures about in height, and in width and depth at its base. It is slightly larger at the top, with an aluminum roof that projects slightly beyond the walls. The interior of the booth houses an aluminum shelf, above which the original telephone is mounted. A swiveling directory holder is mounted in the shelf, and there is a fluorescent light fixture mounted in the ceiling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Prairie Grove Airlight Outdoor Telephone Booth )〕
The Airlight Outdoor Telephone Booth was introduced by American Telephone & Telegraph (ATT) in 1954, as a solution for the placement of public telephones in outdoor locations. Previously, telephones had generally only been available at indoor locations, even for publically accessible pay phones. This particular telephone booth was installed about 1960 by the local Prairie Grove Telephone Company, to provide service to visitors patronizing the nearby motel and state park. It was struck and damaged by an SUV in 2014, after which the company repaired it, replacing a few of its glass panes and straightening bent metal parts. It was one of four booths installed by the company, of which it is the only one remaining.〔 Ralph Wilcox, director of Arkansas historic preservation program, believes it is one of only two telephone booths of this type in the state with a working phone.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Talk About History: Arkansas phone booth is first of its kind to make National Register of Historic Places )〕
