Palacio de la Quinta Meiggs, 19th-century mansion in Santiago, Chile.
The palace featured a central circular hall connecting four pavilions across three levels, with a dome-topped tower marking its highest point.
Henry Meiggs, an American entrepreneur who developed Chilean railways, commissioned English architect Jesse L. Wetmore to design this residence in 1864.
The mansion introduced Boston architectural elements to Santiago, incorporating marble staircases, wooden floors, and wallpapered rooms in European style.
The building stood at the intersection of Alameda and Lord Cochrane until 1941, when it was demolished to create the Virginia Opazo neighborhood.
The palace contained Chile's first central heating system and utilized exotic woods imported directly from the United States for its construction.
