Casa de Las Gárgolas, Neo-Gothic residence in Vicuña Mackenna Avenue, Santiago, Chile
The Casa de Las Gárgolas displays stone gargoyles, pointed arch windows, and decorative elements across its two-story structure with a primary house and service quarters.
Built in 1929 by architect Eduardo Cóstabal Zegers for farmer Melitón Moreno, the building became a National Monument in 2001 under the Ministry of Education.
The residence incorporates Neo-Gothic and Tudor architectural styles with detailed wooden staircases, copper elements, and stained glass windows reflecting 1930s craftsmanship.
Located at Vicuña Mackenna Avenue 84, the building now functions as the headquarters of Chile's National Monuments Council, offering 366 square meters of space.
The restoration completed in 2003 preserved original features while converting the garage into a conference room and updating electrical systems for modern use.
