Italianate-Eclectic · Late 19th century · Built ~1890

Original file name: 20251226 181847

This deteriorated multi-story urban building displays characteristic Italianate-Eclectic features common to late 19th-century South American cities, including ornate bracketed cornices, pedimented window surrounds, and balustraded balconies running the full width of the facade. The rusticated pilasters, shuttered tall windows, and layered horizontal string courses reflect the influence of Italian Renaissance palazzo typology as interpreted through Argentine urban architecture. The building is in an advanced state of decay, with vegetation overtaking the upper balconies and the ground floor boarded up, suggesting prolonged abandonment.
