This is a big red British phone booth perched atop a white pastoral fence on State Highway 237 on the way into Round Top. For Brit McLaren’s Antiques & Interiors owner Sean McLaren, the phone booths are a talisman, and antiques are his birthright: His parents were in the business in England, and he grew up immersed in the world of antiquities.

He opened McLaren’s more than 30 years ago to the trade, and retail stores followed — three in the U.K. and three in Texas (two in Houston on Lower Westheimer, which he closed in 2003). He took a break from the U.S. for a few years to develop designs and focus on manufacturing reclaimed industrial pieces in England.

Parking is free to visit this beautiful historic phone booth.
