Description

The Neo-Gothic building of the Central Telegraph Office, a beautifully crafted structure in stone masonry and wood, was designed by two master architects - J. Trubshawe and W. Paris. The construction of the building was completed in December 1872. It was built from Porbander and Kurla stones. The huge pillars, windows, doors are all decorated with beautiful carvings on stone. The total cost of this marvellous structure was approximately Rs 6 lac at that time. This historical building was Bombay's General Post Office (GPO) until 1913. But after the rapid growth of telegraph services, the building officially became the Central Telegraph Office, while the General Post Office was transferred to the existing structure near Victoria Terminus. Today the Central Telegraph Office building is used as an office complex by the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL).Located on Veer Nariman Road by the Flora Fountain circle in Fort, the Grade-I heritage Central Telegraph Office building has been restored to its former glory in recent years.
