History and appearance edit
The building has had two different facades; initially it was of white stone, but structural issues that soon developed forced US West (later known as Qwest) to remove the outer facade and later install the present exterior. One portion of this building was actually constructed of brick and was the original telephone exchange building until its demolition in 2011 to make room for expanded parking.
Modern ownership edit
The building is now a dispatch center owned by CenturyLink.
