and commented:

No, the RIHS does not want to adopt this. I went by 60th Street yesterday and spotted the Manhattan Tram Station Token Booth in a dumpster on the street.
A rather inelegant end to an old friend. How many of us have stepped in to warm up in the winter or cool off in the summer? (Your names will not be revealed).
