Central telegraph building
Central telegraph building, Constructivist landmark in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
The Central Telegraph building features a pentagonal tower with decorative Soviet emblem and spans 54,000 square meters in Moscow's central district.
Built in 1927 under architect Ivan Rerberg's design, the structure replaced the former estate of the Trubetskoy family and Moscow University printing house.
The building houses the Museum of Central Telegraph History, displaying telecommunications equipment, documents, and books about Russian postal development.
The structure currently functions as an office center, with most of its 35,150 square meters owned by Rostelecom's subsidiary Central Telegraph.
The building's clock, visible from Nikitsky Lane, was considered the most precise timekeeper in Moscow, setting standards for telegraphs nationwide.
