The Bell Telephone Building, now belonging to Bell's successor Verizon, is actually a half-block complex built in phases going back to about 1890. At its northeast corner is the original seven-story edifice of red brick on a sandstone base, designed by Frederick Osterling in Romanesque Revival style. South of this stands an 11-story addition from 1905. The 20-story, limestone-clad main building (1923) fills out the rest of the half-block.
