Ex Casa de Gobierno, National historical monument in Ushuaia, Argentina
The white wooden building features a centered balcony above the main entrance and includes metal exterior panels with stamped sheet metal ceilings.
Built between 1890 and 1893 under architect Francesco Tamburini's direction, the structure initially served as the residence for territorial governors of Tierra del Fuego.
The building transformed from a government house to a municipal hall, then a police station, before becoming the Provincial Legislature in 1983.
Located at Avenida Maipú 450, the single-story structure contains eleven rooms connected by two corridors, two hallways, and two vestibules.
Explorer Otto Nordenskjöld noted in 1896 that the building displayed extraordinary interior luxury despite its modest external appearance at such southern latitudes.
