Pacific Bell used switchboards here on Catalina until the mid 1970s.  Some residents were sad when they went away since they missed the warmth and intimacy of the switchboard operators...others were excited by the new technology and felt they had more privacy. 

 

You can see the switchboard today in our galleries!
