The seven story telephone exchange was designed to become the hub of telecommunications in the Manawatu. The building housed all people associated with technical aspects of telephone and telegraph services except workshops and line staff. See Manawatu Evening Standard 16 May 1980, p 10-11 to see a description of services and a history of telephone and toll services in Palmerston North up to that date.
