Palacio Álamos

Palacio Álamos, Historic mansion in Barrio Yungay, Santiago, Chile

Palacio Álamos is a building at Santo Domingo 2398, at the corner of General Bulnes in Barrio Yungay, Santiago. It was built between 1921 and 1925 by architects Alberto Álamos Ramos and Humberto Bravo for Ignacio Álamos Cuadra. Since 2016 it has served as the neighborhood's community center.

The palace was built between 1921 and 1925 by architects Alberto Álamos and Humberto Bravo for businessman Ignacio Álamos Cuadra and his family. After 1946, it underwent several transformations before eventually becoming a cultural center.

The house stayed in the Álamos family until the death of Dolores Igualt Otaegui, wife of Ignacio Álamos Cuadra, in 1946; the couple raised eight children there. From around 1957 it served as a university residence for the Marist Brothers, and between 1963 and 1985 it housed the Institute of Occupational Health and Atmospheric Pollution. Since 22 September 2016 it has been the community centre of the Yungay neighbourhood.

Palacio Álamos stands at Santo Domingo 2398, on the corner of General Bulnes, in Barrio Yungay. Since its 2016 reopening it works as the neighbourhood's community centre, so access follows the centre's own opening hours rather than a museum ticket. The building is a Historical Conservation Property inside a Typical Zone, so the façade and structure are protected.

The German architect Juan Honold, National Urbanism Prize winner, restored the building in the late 1980s, before the Kalam company carried out a further restoration. On 22 September 2016 it reopened as the Yungay neighbourhood's community centre. The house stayed with the Álamos family until Dolores Igualt Otaegui, widow of Ignacio Álamos Cuadra, died in 1946.
