1913 – Regina Telephone Exchange, Saskatchewan, Canada

The brick building, with a limestone base, was designed in a subdued Italianate style with elaborately detailed stone carvings. The building also features two ornate entranceways constructed of carved Indiana Limestone. When the building was completed in 1913, it housed the most advanced telephone system in Saskatchewan and the head office of the Department of Telephones. The building was used by the Department, later renamed Saskatchewan Government Telephones, until 1955 when it was purchased by the Regina Public School Board.
