Peninsular Telephone Company Building, Early 20th-century commercial building in downtown Bradenton, United States
The three-story yellow brick building at 1009 4th Avenue West features ground floor ornamental details and a decorative cornice crowning the third floor.
Built in 1925 for an independent telephone operating company based in Tampa, the structure later became part of General Telephone's regional operations network.
The building exemplifies the Commercial School architectural style, demonstrating the period's approach to combining functionality with structural design elements.
Currently owned by Manatee County, the building serves as a storage facility and stands as a point of interest on downtown Bradenton walking tours.
Local architect J.H. Johnson designed this telecommunications hub during Florida's 1920s development period, marking a shift in regional communication infrastructure.
