A historic red phone booth stands on a wet sidewalk in Watkins Glen, New York, in front of a local business.

If you drive down Franklin Street in the village of Watkins Glen and you don’t see the long-standing historic red phone booth outside of the Rooster Fish Brewing Pub your eyes are not deceiving you.

The phone booth has a new home and it’s right across the street at the Watkins Glen Chamber of Commerce. Members of the village’s street department safely transported the booth during the early morning hours of Thursday.
