Telegraphkhane

The Telegraphkhaneh building or the Postkhaneh building was a building in Tehran, Iran, that was used as museum of post and telegraph. It was constructed during the reign of Reza Shah in Toopkhaneh square, and was demolished in 1970.

History
After Reza Shah's coronation, Karim Buzarjomehri became the mayor of Tehran. The Telegraphkhaneh building was created in three parts and was around 150 meters long, and faced the Tehran Municipality Palace. It had a columned entrance with a dome that had a square base. The building had 22 decorated columns that gave it a very spectacular look. It was demolished in 1970 for unknown reasons, just like the Municipality Palace.
