Edificio Comercial Edwards, Historical Monument at Estado and Merced streets, Santiago, Chile
The three-story cast-iron commercial building features rectangular openings, semicircular arched windows, and a corner cupola at its intersection location.
Architect Eugenio Joannon designed this structure in 1892, which was prefabricated in France and transported to Chile for assembly near Plaza de Armas.
The edifice represents the adoption of European architectural trends in Chile during the late 19th century, particularly the metal construction methods.
The ground floor maintains its original commercial purpose with retail spaces available for rent to various businesses in central Santiago.
The building incorporates mosaic-covered panels between the third-floor windows and displays a distinctive mechanical construction system throughout its structure.
