Central Telegraph
Central Telegraph

The Central Telegraph building is one of the most beautiful in Tashkent. It is part of the “Stalin-era” ensemble built on Navoi Avenue. Designed by architect N. Bryukhanov. Officially, the year of construction is considered 1940, but the 1937 directory already mentions that the Central Telegraph would be located on the new highway — Faizulla Khojaev Avenue (as Navoi Street was then called).

Over 80 years, the facade has been refreshed several times: it was gray, beige, pink, and now it is a beautiful yellow with white window and column trim. The architecture is typical of the Stalinist period — half-columns support a massive portal symbolizing power and stability.

The building is still beautiful today, but it is surrounded by a fence, which somewhat spoils its appearance. The Central Telegraph is closed to visitors, as telegrams are long outdated; inside, communication equipment is housed.
