Now that's a tower. It has been upgraded to eight legs (instead of four) which makes it a confusing lattice of steel at the base.

It's interesting that ATT security requested that the location be removed. Central offices are obviously a key infrastructure piece, but their locations have never been actively obscured. They are often located in very prominent places with prominent signage. There used to be online databases that if you keyed in the CLLI, you could get the detailed stats of what that office contained (type of switch, interconnects, types of feeds, etc), but I just googled for them and I couldn't find one. Which kinda sucks because I have fond memories of dumpster diving them in high school.

I have some friends that do commercial tower climbing and they said the microwave back haul system is a approaching a slow death due to the net and fiber optic cables...

The Culleoka tower was formerly part of the AT&T long distance microwave system. With the advent of fiber-optics, the microwave towers became ineffecient. AT&T has now sold most of the towers to private companies.
