Casa de Fierro, Iron building in Iquitos, Peru.
The Casa de Fierro stands as a two-story iron structure with rectangular metal sheets covering its walls, ceiling, and balcony in central Iquitos.
During the rubber boom of 1889, rubber baron Anselmo del Aguila purchased this prefabricated building at the International Exposition of Paris.
The Iron House represents the economic power of rubber barons who transformed Iquitos into a center of wealth and European architectural influence.
Located between Prospero and Putumayo streets, the building houses a restaurant on its second floor and retail stores at ground level.
This structure, manufactured in Belgian workshops of Les Forges d'Aiseau, became the first prefabricated house in the Americas after its assembly in 1890.
