Phone Company Buys Old Capitol Lot on Lee Street
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of West Virginia bought a 34 by 161 foot lot on the old Capitol grounds facing the public library across from the Kanawha Valley Bank and Diamond department store. The eight story building, likely expandable, will house exchange equipment and offices for UK headquarters and clerical staff, replacing the current 210 Bale Street structure. Officials declined media specifics on size or type but expect a high grade, long term valued addition to the district, with a price reportedly near 295000 cash and ground idle briefly possible by late 1920.
