Notes: The EXchange there was HIllcrest. The first No 1
ESS HILO switch was installed in this office in the 1970s.
Fayetteville is also the home of the Arkansas Razorbacks. This
office is unusual in that SBC displayed it’s logo on the
building. For the years between taking the title SBC and
acquiring AT&T, most SBC Central Offices lost the old
Southwestern Bell logo and went without any identifier until the
new AT&T logo was adapted. Current picture: GSV. Photo 2:

Northwest Arkansas economic engine. Current picture: GSV. Photo
