Historic Sites of Manitoba: Telephone Repeater Station (RM of Grey)This small, one-storey brick building along Manitoba Highway #2 between Elm Creek and Fannystelle, in the Rural Municipality of Grey, was designed by architect Robert Bryan Ross and constructed in 1950 to house “J” Carrier Repeaters, a component of the Trans-Canada Telecommunications System. It is situated almost exactly 40 miles away from Telecommunications Building #2 and 80 miles from Telecommunications Building #1, in a nearly straight line. During the 1950s, the equipment inside the building was owned and operated by the Manitoba Telephone System. Its roof has been replaced and a window has been cut into the south side.
