By servicing the building correctly, I mean that the utility utilize the existing entrance facility and not create a new one just to save the utility a few dollars.

Old pictures of the building show that the utilities used to be above ground. At some point (late 1940s/early 1950s) everything went down into conduits. If New England Telephone wanted to bring service into the building from the back, it would have done it at that point...or even earlier.

Ma Bell trenched the property line between the Church and the neighboring house, ran 25 pair direct burial to the house & 50 pair direct burial to the Church and straight into the phone closet.
