12 West 56th Street, Renaissance Revival consulate building in Midtown Manhattan, United States

The four-story limestone and red brick structure at 12 West 56th Street combines classical proportions with Georgian Revival architectural elements and decorative iron balconies.

McKim, Mead & White designed this residence in 1901 for stockbroker H. B. Hollins before it became the Calumet Club in 1914 and later Argentina's consulate.

The Argentine Consulate General conducts diplomatic activities, provides consular services, and organizes exhibitions to promote Argentine culture in New York City.

Located between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, the building maintains regular office hours for consular services and accepts visa applications through its dedicated processing system.

The structure features three French windows with individual iron balconies and carved stone lunettes that distinguish it from neighboring buildings on 56th Street.
