The new Telephone Company building, completed the week before this photo was taken on September 4, 1946, and located in the southern section of Los Angeles at 10600 S. Vermont Ave. It will serve the city's telephone requirements in an area generally south of 90th Street and will serve PLymouth prefix telephone numbers. It takes over some of the telephone load from the Thornwall office at 6900 S. Vermont Ave. Western Electric Company installers are now working in the building about 20 hours a day to get the switching equipment ready for the cutover on November 2.
