This modest one-storey brick building at Roblin in the Municipality of Roblin was designed by architect Alexander D. Melville and built in 1928 by the Manitoba Telephone System. It was later used as an office by the Rural Municipality of Hillsburg. It is presently used for storage by the Municipality of Roblin.
