This bronze sculpture, entitled (I think) "The Trolley Arrives in Mount Pleasant," sits inside an old emergency telephone box on Mt. Pleasant St. near the corner of Harvard and 16th St. At right you can see the plaque below the sculpture, as well as the telephone box in the context of its surroundings (with a big beautiful church in the background; I'll have to figure out what church that is...).

The text of the plaque begins: "Until 1900 Mount Pleasant was still a small village of wood-frame houses about a mile outside the City of Washington. In 1903 the city extended and broadened 16th Street, separating what is now Columbia Heights from Mount Pleasant. At about the same time, the trolley lines in downtown Washington reached up to Mount Pleasant along what is now Metrobus Route 42. These changes connected Mount Pleasant with jobs and commerce downtown, ensuring the neighborhood's rapid development."

The plaque also has a map which I think leads to about 8 other telephone box art projects. Good subjects for future photos, perhaps...
