I don't think I ever knew. I kind of assumed from the story they had put the switchboard in somebody's home, perhaps the telephone company owner's. Alamogordo is now Qwest, but it may have been a mom and pop back then, or at least the outlying areas. Next time I talk to the people who found it, I'll try to remember to ask what it is now.
