Comments:
For some reason the low but rising profile of this office always reminded me of the roofline of Jabba the hutt's place. Probably just me. It should be noted that this office along with Jefferson provide the traditional dialtone service to most of York County via many remote terminals. Again the thought amongst Bell Atlantic is to never ever ever build a new central office unless an act of god occurs.

An AT&T fiber optic cable linking AT&T's long distance switch to the one in Richmond as well as an interPOP Sprint fiber route run along the CSX tracks behind the office along with a Sprint opitcal amplifier.

The 878 exchange was once assigned here but has since been transfered to COX Fibernet's "Louise Dr." switch.
