OXNARD "MAIN"

 

Oxnard "Main" is the region tandem office for the Verizon CO's in Ventura County.  One of the first central offices built in the region by Associated Telephone.  GTE at one time had "proprietary" microwave service connecting into the GTE southern California network.  The microwave system seems "dead" judging from the graffiti on the horns.  AT&T has a toll office just a block down the street and can be seen in the lower photo behind the Verizon office.

Old Exchanges: HUnter 3, 5 and 6.
