212 E 5th Street, 1931 AT&T Building #14
The Neillsville "repeater station", located on the Twin Cities-Chicago toll cable, was part of a loarger expansion of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company's toll lines. Repeater stations were located about 60 miles apart, and served the purpose of amplifying conversation so that a toll call could be heard as clearly as a local call. The structure represents the Colonial Revival Style, which is interpreted through paired sidewall chimneys, decorative end wall brickwork, a front facade that exhibits six over nine double-hung windows, and a central single-door entry, topped with a divided light transom.
