Bankers Electrical Protective Co. Boxes around the state -- a running post.

This is a collection of neat little alarm boxes I've noticed on buildings in a few towns. They're from Bankers Electrical Protective Association, an organization that first applied for a patent on this type of alarm system in 1916 and mentioned in industry periodicals by 1918.

I know very little else about them other than that I find them interesting, and aesthetically pleasing.
