All major cities seemed to end up with similar facilities at end of the 1970s to cope with the exponential reach of telecommunications at that point. In Australia, Melbourne has 320 Exhibition Street http://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/telstra-exhibition-exchange/19804 http://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/telstra-exhibition-... and in Sydney, the Kent St Exchange Telstra Kent Telephone Exchange
95/105A Clarence St, Sydney NSW 2000 https://g.co/kgs/3ifj5d https://g.co/kgs/3ifj5d
(At least they both have windows - I've been in Exhibition and they do function )
