After 3.5 hours of burning, Plasko collapsed while a large number of firefighters were still fighting the fire outside and inside the building. The first Plasko, with a height of 42 meters when it was built in 1341, was the tallest building in Capital and was considered one of the first skyscrapers in Capital, along with the Aluminum Building. . This building is a symbol of modern Tehran and modern architecture in the capital of Iran and was considered an urban symbol. With the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution in 1357, Al-Ghaniyan, the owner of the building, like many other capitalists, was angered by the new revolutionary authorities, and after being executed by firing squad, his assets, including the Plasko building, were confiscated and given to the Foundation of the Underprivileged of the Islamic Revolution.
