A very old central office located in an older neighborhood in Norfolk. The building goes on for a large ways in the back and left side.

It is now a packet remote switch as of September 2012 (hosted by VA Beach Chinese Corner). You can also see some of the equipment inside the building (a rare sight) in Photo 3. Current photo: GSV.
