| Additional Information: | This building was built in circa 1960 by the Wisconsin Bell Telephone Company as a result of that company acquiring the Menomonee Falls and Lisbon (Sussex area) telephone companies in 1959. Those two companies served a seventy square-mile area and provided exchange service. The new building allowed Wisconsin Bell to provide direct dial service.
