New England Telephone Company
From Salem Links and Lore
New England Telephone and Telegraph Company operated a facility on 35 Norman Street, from approximately 1900 until its closing in 1976, though some workers continued to work at the directory assistance office next door. The change came when the long distance calls were first being controlled by a computer-like processor instead of telephone switchboard operators.
