Southwestern Bell Building Comes Down

Pictured: Demolition of the north side of building. A portion of the former Southwestern Bell Telephone building in Hope (located at 320 South Main Street across from First Baptist Church), was torn down on Monday, November 9th. EPA Demolition & Construction came from Little Rock to do the job, beginning the task at 8:00 am on Monday morning. According to AT&T, the present owner/operator of the building, the work being done included tearing down the one-third of the building that wasn’t being used. They will rebrick the now exposed wall facing Main Street and continue to use the remainder of the building for current telephone operations. Dial tones, DSL, and all mobile phones all run through this building. They also use a large generator that is connected to the building.
