The PAST (also known as PASTA), a complex of two Renaissance Revival buildings at 37 and 39 Zielna Street in Warsaw, was constructed between 1904 and 1910 for the Cedergren Telephone Joint-Stock Company and subsequently owned by the Polish Telephone Joint-Stock Company (Polska Akcyjna Spółka Telefoniczna), from which it takes its name. Designed by Gustaw Trzcinski, Bronisław Brochwicz-Rogoyski, and Isak Gustaf Clason, the larger building (no. 39) rises 51.5 meters and held the distinction of being Europe's tallest building from 1908 to 1911—Poland's first skyscraper. The two structures, sometimes called "small PASTA" and "large PASTA," housed the company's telephone exchanges in Warsaw's North Downtown neighborhood. The complex gained additional historical significance through its role in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, and today stands as a protected municipal monument in Poland's provincial register.
