I thought I had seen all the old exchange name formatted phone numbers there were to be found in Astoria, at least in the outdoor space. This EVergreen-8 number for the Patsy Strocchio & Sons Iron Works Inc. was staring right at me on a street I pass over often, making me ask how the heck I could have missed such a shiny object.
EVergreen-8 Patsy Strocchio & Sons Iron-Works Inc.
Old exchange name numbers are often found on these medallions that are on metal doors in the sidewalk that lead to buildings’ basements. But they are almost if not all HAVemeyer numbers for the Charles Hoelzer Iron Works.
