This was a metal cannister with a locking door a few ventilation holes and a light on the top, last used in the 1800's.
Steven our tour guide told us it was a police box which was used to hold one prisoner until the police cart came along to take them to the local jail! Unfortunately in the Atlantan summers sometimes the prisoner went in alive and if he wasn't picked up quickly didn't make it as far as the jail.
