New York Telephone Company

Photogarphed in 1912.

Originally based in the Trebloc building on South Aurora Street, The New York Telephone Company had quite a rocky existence. Through many merges and breakups, it ended up being acquired by Bell Atlantic and then the American Bell Telephone Company. It was finally bought out by American Telephone & Telegraph (AT&T). When it merged with the Federal Telephone and Telegraph Company, it moved into this building in 1921.
