Mysteries solved!
Employees Fred Enderle and Charlie Ploeger emailed to confirm that the building in photo 235 is the Queensgate location as the archivists suspected. The building is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has been an operations center since it was built in the 1960s. It’s been home to a meter lab and readers, distribution and transmission crews and relay crews.
