Back to my historical buildings project. This the North Edmonton Telephone Exchange Building.
It opened in 1912 and served as the exchange building until 1958. After that it became home to the Historical Exhibits Building which was a local pioneer museum.
In 1973 it became the home of the City of Edmonton Archives.
Today it is the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Research Centre

Good pov

[J A Byrdlip]

Interesting history. I wonder if the conduits that brought in all the phone lines are still accessible? Or they all overhead wires? I never paid attention to phone/power lines back in 1958, even with a phone pole outside our house.

[Harry J Benson]

Thank you for the history. It is nice to see that it has continued to be repurposed.

[Hoopydoo]

Gosh what an amazing history, glad it’s still going for another good cause.

This looks a large very functional building perfect for a telephone exchange. A very varied & interesting history.

[Heather]

What a great history to this building! And the structure itself is a handsome building. (I'm partial to red brick and I like all the windows and that decorative top floor (?) Fav

[Bill]

The mechanics of the old exchanges is fascinating. Building like this were always deeply mysterious. Very Nice.

[Granagringa]

Not only the historical building, but what a great sense of weather and gloom and so glad to see the people, too.

[Pyrrhula]

[william wooderson]
