Citizens Telephone Company

1903

The symmetrical architecture of the Citizens Telephone building shows a center entry with five small windows that appear to be leaded with a geometrical pattern centered over the door. Five larger window, which echo the pattern on the second floor, are flanked by a pair of windows that are topped by a semi-circular window that repeats the geometric design of the windows over the door. The main floor window on the left has a reflection of an unidentified building across the street. "Main Office" has been handwritten on the photo. What appears to be an open garage is at the lower right.
