As a child, I went on a field trip to Western Electric on Mansfield road. The plant was huge, and even had it's own cafeteria. All I remember is that the spokesperson said that there was enough concrete in the slab to pave a sidewalk from Shreveport to Baton Rouge. Now that's a lot of concrete! What is the old plant now? Anyone know?

Alcatel and AT&T site
Alcatel is a French company.
The old Western Electric/AT&T plant on Mansfield Road became Lucent technologies then (I think) something else unlrelated to AT&T, but nothing that ever used the full potential of the site. It's available if you'd like to rent or buy it. |
