Bell Telephone Building (St. Louis, Missouri)

The Bell Telephone Building, located at 920 Olive Street in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, was built in 1889 to house the switchboard and local headquarters of the Bell Telephone Company. The building served as the main telephone exchange for St. Louis from its construction until 1926, and it is the oldest extant telephone building in St. Louis (and possibly was the first building constructed for the telephone industry in St. Louis).
