From Wikipedia:

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. It may have been the first building built for the telephone industry in St. Louis; regardless, it served as the city's main telephone exchange until 1926 and remains the city's oldest extant telephone building.
