Depósito de Gravitación de Villa Devoto
Depósito de Gravitación de Villa Devoto, Water storage building in Villa Devoto, Argentina.
The Depósito de Gravitación is a water storage building in Villa Devoto with five distinctive domes, the largest positioned at the center of the Beiró Avenue façade. The structure spans three floors and houses twelve steel tanks designed to hold water supplies.
The building was constructed between 1915 and 1917, with construction delayed by World War I due to difficulties importing essential machinery and materials. These wartime challenges shaped the project's timeline and reflected broader supply difficulties of the era.
The Renaissance Revival structure received recognition as Cultural Heritage of Buenos Aires, highlighting its architectural and historical importance.
The building provides a total storage capacity of 72,000 cubic meters and demonstrates early water management engineering. Visitors should be aware that the structure features stairs and multiple levels to explore.
The first floor of this depot sits at the same height as the third floor of the older Córdoba Avenue depot built in 1894. This height difference reveals how water infrastructure engineering standards shifted differently across Buenos Aires.
