The Telephone Company, commissioned the architect Juan Talavera Heredia in Seville, the construction of the building 1925 to be completed two years later in 1927. It has an area of \u200b\u200bnearly 1000 m2 is on one level with basement alone in the middle of construction. The ephemeral nature of the construction was done however, by building system based on load-bearing walls with metal pillars on which rests the concrete slab. Decks there are two main types, the main building in Andalusian and Moorish tiles in the body of arcade access and outdoor pavilions.
The author was inspired by Palladian models, articulated the flag with three buildings around a garden with a pool attached to the lifting of the main building. The building of greater importance than the rest, is elevated as the rest of the complex, after entering through the steps to the pond side, we have a building of great firmness cubic volume, which opens a grand entrance arch occupying this space. Both sides open holes with three windows, the center decorated with forged iron, finished off the set with two octagonal towers with domes of half an orange covered with yellow tiles. Its walls are opened small openings that serve to provide vertical construction.
The interior of this central body, develops stays arches around the courtyard where they emphasize the proportions of the abacus. In between there is installed a small fountain that connects to the outside through a channel that runs through the hallway and flows into the pond in the garden.
The author relies on the local tradition of Mudejar, which is clearly manifested in the threads of the entrance arches and courtyard as well as plaster, tile and wood paneling in the lobby and patio. The front cover was inspired by the Convent of Santa Paula, which even the two-color copy of it. Doing the same in the cloister of the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo to shape the arches of the curved arms.

In short, the gorgeous use of brick, both plain and carved, and the tile and wrought iron supplement the decoration of this building, which in turn is enhanced on the surfaces of white walls, forming one of the crowning achievements of Seville historicist style, achieving the lime and brick a synthesis of Latin and Mediterranean as understood in Islamic Andalusia.
The October 12, 1929, opened direct telephone service between Spain - Argentina and Spain - Uruguay, and various automation in various provincial capitals, while ceremony presided by General Primo de Rivera.

This building was a lull in the construction style of the author Juan Talavera, when the neo-Baroque was at the zenith of its development, Talavera look back and collects the neomudejar the principle of regionalism. The exterior decoration is presented with total building materials treated with impeccable technical purity, away from the ornate decoration in plaster and tiles.

Una vez concluida la Exposición, el edificio continuó prestando servicio a la Compañía Telefónica hasta finales de la década de los 80 del pasado siglo, cuando la actividad de esta subcentral fue suprimida.
