The image that stopped Tehran; The secrets of Ferdowsi Street in the 30s

Looking at this picture is not just looking at an old photo; It is an instant trip to the heart of history. To Tehran in the 1930s, a time when Ferdowsi Street, the economic and cultural artery of the capital, had a different face. The peace, order and glory that is in this frozen frame is miles away from today’s hustle and bustle of this street.

In the center of this image, the magnificent building of the Savings Bank of the National Bank stands out with its neoclassical architecture.
