The Telephone Exchange Building is a historic building at 23 Union Street in downtown Norwich, Connecticut, behind Norwich Town Hall. It is a 2-1/2 story Georgian Colonial Revival brick building, five bays wide, with its entrance centered under a rounded archway. Built in 1906-07, it was the first purpose-built telephone exchange building in the city, and is a little-altered example of period exchanges built by the Southern New England Telephone Company.[2] The building now houses city offices.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1983.[1]
