Escuela Presidente José Manuel Balmaceda, Curicó
Escuela Presidente José Manuel Balmaceda, Curicó, Historical monument in Curicó, Chile.
The educational building stands at the intersection of Merced and O'Higgins streets, featuring thick brick walls and wooden oak trusses covered with zinc sheets.
The school building, commissioned in 1890 by President José Manuel Balmaceda, served as the first public educational institution in the Curicó region.
The institution houses an American wooden piano from 1850 and multiple paintings by former student and national artist Héctor Robles Acuña.
The structure currently operates in a temporary facility due to damage sustained during the 2010 earthquake, while restoration plans await implementation.
The facade displays an inscription acknowledging President Balmaceda's role in establishing this educational center, which transformed from an experimental school to a full primary institution.
