Edificio Senador Alfredo L. Palacios, Governmental building in Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The nine-story rationalist building features a marble-clad main hall with art deco bronze lanterns and stands diagonally across from the National Congress Palace.
The building opened in 1943 under President Ramon Castillo to house the National Postal Savings Bank until its privatization in 1994.
The structure incorporates neoclassical columns and cornices in a simplified form, representing a transition between academic architecture and rationalist principles.
The building currently functions as part of the National Congress Library, offering public reading spaces and computer facilities in its main hall.
The top four floors were designed as rental apartments to comply with maximum height regulations for buildings near Plaza Congreso.
