Casa Schneider Hernández, Residential palace in Providencia, Chile
The three-story building featured a prominent tower with a spire, terraces, and porticos with columns along its main facade on Vicuña Mackenna Avenue.
Built in 1914 for María Hernández Súanes de Schneider, the mansion stood on former agricultural land that later became part of Santiago's urban development.
The interior halls displayed intricate moldings, stained glass windows, and mirrors, representing the refined architectural preferences of early 20th century Chilean elite.
The Chilean Olympic Committee acquired the building in 1969, and later it served as a campus for Pedro de Valdivia University until 2019.
During the social protests of November 8, 2019, the building was completely destroyed by fire, marking the end of this architectural landmark.
