Edificio Crucero Guevara, Historical monument in Valparaíso, Chile
The neoclassical building stands at the intersection of Errázuriz Avenue and Blanco Street, featuring a distinctive ship-like architectural design with monograms on its facade.
Built between 1881 and 1883 by textile entrepreneur Luis Guevara Arias, the structure was constructed on land reclaimed from the sea during Valparaíso's maritime development.
The National Monuments Council designated the building as a Historical Monument in 1994, protecting it from demolition after local residents campaigned for its preservation.
The DUOC Educational Institute now occupies the five-story building, which contains educational facilities, a theater, convention center, and exhibition halls following a restoration.
Initially mistaken for a Cousiño family property, research revealed the LG monograms on the facade actually represent Luis Guevara, correcting a long-standing historical error.
