^^Finished in 1934, at 52,5 m it was the highest building in Bucharest untill the 70s. It was built after the plans of dutch architect Edmond Algi. To build this and another 4 smaller phone exchanges the romanian government took a loan from the US trust American Morgan and created a joint venture with International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation. The new company was SART - Romanian Telephone Company Inc.
At the top floor was a nice restaurant, sadly i couldn't find any pics of it.
