Notes
  • Significance: The 1957 Telephone Exchange Building is a contributing resource in the existing Braselton National Register of Historic Places District and represents the early twentieth century modest

residential dwellings being constructed in Braselton at that time. In addition, this building is significant as the home of the Braselton Telephone System beginning in the mid-1920s. This building is also significant architecturally as a good example of the gable ell building type constructed with Craftsman-style elements. The Craftsman style, the most popular early twentieth century style in Georgia, was a break with the popular revivals of historical styles. Craftsman style houses were constructed throughout Georgia in rural, small town, and urban settings from the 1910s through the 1930s, and generally included a low-pitched gabled or hipped roof, wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, decorative brackets or braces, porches with short square columns set on piers, and windows with multi-pane sashes over a single-pane sash. The character-defining features of this building include its gable roof, overhanging eaves, and exposed rafters.
