rummaging through old slides, i found this image from 1986---designed by p. thornton marye, who also did terminal station, this was bell telephone's new north exchange, built in 1916, demolished in 1988, now part of the site of the federal reserve bank (the building just visible at left is the building just east of the midtown marta station)

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570

Those AT&T (Bell System) exchange buildings are a treasure. So many are gone. You should check out the book I helped put together for one of the post-divestiture Bell companies. Lots of exhange buildings in there.
