Gate Keepers Booth

Gate keepers' booths were once common throughout early rail travel in New Jersey, providing shelter, warmth, and minimal comforts for the gate keeper, but they became obsolete with the advent of electrified rail crossings. This booth is believed to be one of the only remaining examples. It is said to have stood at the Shrewsbury Avenue rail crossing, and photo documentation places it at the Monmouth Street crossing approximately fifty feet from its current location. Its color scheme matches historic colors for the Red Bank station and was also encountered during the booth's restoration.
