SAN MIGUEL (Thanks to Steve)
|
Original CONTEL of California office, became
GTE now Verizon. The
building in the front was constructed for the San Miguel Interurban
Telephone Company's first dial office which was a Stromberg Carlson X-Y
switch. The larger building located behind it was constructed by Contel to
house a NEC electronic (analog) switch. It now houses a DMS100. Old Exchanges: HOmestead 7 |
 SANTA BARBARA MAIN |
Original office built in the 1910's to serve
the affluent seaside community of Santa Barbara. Was classified as a
Class 4 "Toll office" as part of the Direct Distance Dialing hierarchy and
had direct trunk groups to the Sherman Oaks Class 3 Primary Center.
The office continues to serve as a Tandem Office for the various Verizon
offices in the Santa Barbara-San Luis Obispo region, yet due to its
independent "telephone" status, an AT&T Toll office is located next-door. Old Exchanges: WOodland 2, 5 & 6 |
