The railway station was originally designed in 1928-29 by Polish architect Władysław Horodecki, who died before the construction could begin.

In 1930, the experienced Danish railway architect Knud Tanggaard Seest was then tasked to finish the project.

Seest changed the original plans dramatically and gave the railway station a new, highly modern, strict design.

The Tehran Railway Station serves as an example of early modernistic architecture in the Middle East.
