The place has associations with communication services in the Piawanning area.
Timber framed and fibro clad with a corrugated iron roof.
The phone exchanges located in local farms were an important means of communication. They also provided a social link for the otherwise isolated women on the farms, who were usually the operators of the phone exchanges. The Piawaning phone exchange was operating before the Pursers bought the property and continued the exchange.
