Denver Telephone Building

Source: http://www.telcomhistory.org/vm/ACInUse.shtml














The Denver Telephone Building, today called the Denver ATT Building, had a grand opening in August 1929, just two months before the stock market crash.  It is 312 feet tall and was the tallest building in Denver at the time it opened.  It only has 15 stories because of tall ceilings for telephone equipment.

It is a Bell System "palace" and is similar to palaces built about the same time in New York, San Francisco, St. Louis, Cleveland, Newark, and Montreal.



The lobby has murals painted by Alan True depicting telephone linemen.
