Telephone Exchange

The Telephone Exchange, built between 1909 and 1910 by Leonard Aloysius Scott Stokes, is a three-storey building featuring four windows. The top storey appears to be a later addition, constructed in multicoloured stock brick and topped with a stone-coped parapet. It has gauged brick arches over flush frame hinged windows that include glazing bars, resting on the stone coping of the original parapet. The two lower floors are made of multicoloured stock brick with red brick dressings, which include gauged brick window arches, window jambs, and panels of banding between the first and ground floor windows, as well as at the building's angles.

Flat stone pilasters located within the angles sit on a stone-coped plinth and extend through a moulded stone cornice to a stone-coped red brick parapet, finishing in small capitals. The building features flush framed sash windows with glazing bars. There is a one-storey, one-bay entrance extension on the left, banded in red brick, which has seven steps leading up to a five-panel door set beneath a gauged red brick arch. At the rear, there is a similar three-bay extension that lacks pilasters or a cornice.
