New England Telephone & Telegraph Building

185 Franklin Street, Boston, MA (see street view)
GreaterBoston:Image:IM9930
Enlarge
The New England Telephone and Telegraph Building rises 298 feet into the skyline of Boston's financial district. The building formerly headquartered the New England Telephone company, but is currently used by Verizon Communications. Its construction was completed in 1947 and it overlooks the Post Office Square Park to the north.

The art deco building at 185 Franklin St. is like a slice of telephone history. In an alcove off the lobby, a small exhibit open to the public gives a history of the development of the telephone. A massive mural circles the lobby, showing the history of the telephone -- from Alexander Graham Bell's invention, to operators manning manual switchboards, to linemen working on phone poles.
