EL PASO "EAST"
|
This Southwestern Bell office is located in a residential
area and is designed to blend in with the large two-story homes in the
neighborhood. It was a step office that serviced the Army's Fort Bliss and the Air Force's Biggs Field in El Paso. Ft. Bliss expanded and took over Biggs Field when the A.F. moved out. They have their own C.O. now and are probably fed with just a fiber from the C.O. which passes traffic to the Main office in downtown El Paso. Old Exchanges: LOgan 5 and 6 |
|
EL PASO "NORTHEAST"
|
Newer office similar architecture as El Paso "North" using bells standardized building practices. |
|
EL PASO "NORTH"
|
MST&T co building, expanded from a small stepper to ESS. It
was 584- and 589- I believe, 584- was the Texas area and 589- was in New
Mexico. However, in the late '50s and '60s there was no exchange in New
Mexico any closer than Las Cruces 40 miles away. When MST&T sold El Paso to
SW Bell, the New Mexico lines were moved to the Anthony CDO and now to the
Santa Teresa ESS. |

EL PASO "SANDHILLS"
|
Built by Southwestern Bell in the 1980s. |
