Casa Schneider Hernández, Residential palace in Providencia, Chile

Casa Schneider Hernández was a residential building in Providencia, Santiago, erected in 1914 on the grounds of an old quinta along what is now Avenida Vicuña Mackenna. Its facade was distinguished by a tall tower topped with a spire, along with terraces and porticos. It served as the residence of María Hernández Suánez de Schneider, from whom it took its name.

Built in 1914 on the grounds of an old quinta along what is now Avenida Vicuña Mackenna, the house was named for its owner, María Hernández Suánez de Schneider. In 1969 the Chilean Olympic Committee bought the building and used it as its headquarters for several decades. In its last years it housed a branch of the Universidad Pedro de Valdivia.

After 1969 the Chilean Olympic Committee used the former mansion as its headquarters for several decades, so the palace became an administrative address rather than a family home. In its last years it housed a branch of the Universidad Pedro de Valdivia, which kept the building in use until the fire of 2019.

The building site is no longer accessible to visitors as the structure was destroyed. The location still marks an important moment in the neighborhood's architectural history and can be visited as a historical reference point.

The building was completely destroyed by fire on November 8, 2019 during social protests, marking the end of this architectural landmark. This event captured a turning point in Santiago's recent history and the pressures that shaped the city's transformation.
