Telephone Tower in Sweden
The old Stockholm telephone tower was a metallic structure built to connect about 5,500 telephones in Stockholm, which is the Swedish capital. It was designed by Architect Fritz Eckert and built in 1887. The antenna spire was 260 feet tall and remained in use until 1913. After that, it was kept as a historical reminder of how convoluted telephone lines were at the time. Unfortunately, the tower caught fire in 1952 and was so badly damaged that it was demolished in 1953.
