Phone Booths at The Hague

Iljitsch van Beijnum writes:

“In my home town (well, city) of The Hague, the Netherlands, there are two booths right in front of the entrance to the Binnenhof, where the two chambers of parliament are housed and the prime minister has his office.

“The interesting thing here is that the actual phone booth (the other one is just for calling the police or fire department (brand = fire)) is still in the style of the Dutch PTT from before 1989 or so when they were privatized. All other phone booths have been green for a long time, in accordance to the later KPN style, although I can’t remember seeing one lately. (I live in Spain now, maybe that has something to do with it…)”

Iljitsch sent two photos of these booths, including this snowy weather shot, adding to the Payphone Project’s series of Netherlands payphones and phone booths. Thank you, Iljitsch!
