History

After the 1921 coup in Iran that led to Zia ol Din Tabatabaee becoming prime minister of Iran, an Armenian named Kasbar Ipegian became the acting mayor of Tehran. Ipegian ordered the construction of a municipality building in Toopkhaneh square to centralize affairs in the city. After Reza Khan was crowned Shah of Iran in 1925, Karim Buzarjomehri became the mayor of Tehran and the building was completed.{{Cite web|date=2014-01-12|title=ماهنامه شماره ۰ (صفر)، صفحه ۸|url=http://www.iichs.org/magazine/sub.asp?id=610&theme=Green&magNumber=0&magID=72&magIMG=|access-date=2021-11-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140112070947/http://www.iichs.org/magazine/sub.asp?id=610&theme=Green&magNumber=0&magID=72&magIMG=|archive-date=2014-01-12}} The building was demolished in 1969 for unknown reasons.{{Cite web|title=ماهنامه شماره ۰ (صفر)، صفحه ۸|url=http://www.iichs.org/magazine/sub.asp?id=610&theme=Green&magNumber=0&magID=72&magIMG=|access-date=2021-11-18|website=www.iichs.org}}
