Casa Marcó del Pont, National historical monument in Flores, Argentina

Casa Marcó del Pont is a building in Italian style with a U-shaped layout located in Flores, Buenos Aires. A central courtyard is surrounded by paired columns with Doric capitals that define its exterior.

The Marcó del Pont siblings purchased the property in 1860 and made it their residence. The house gained importance later when it served as shelter during the yellow fever epidemic of 1871.

Numismatists such as Bartolomé Mitre and Alejandro Rosa met in this house, according to local accounts. Since 2000 it has housed the Casa de la Cultura de Flores, and the library of the Junta de Estudios Históricos de San José de Flores was installed there a few months after the opening.

The house sits at General José Artigas 202 in Flores, a few blocks from the Floresta railway station that gave the area its start. Enter through the perimeter gate of masonry pillars and ironwork; the single-storey U plan wraps 14 rooms around the inner patio, where the old aljibe stood. The Junta de Estudios Históricos de San José de Flores library has occupied part of the building since 2000.

The 1890 Revolution, not 1880, was when a blood hospital operated here. From 1913 the house held the atelier of painter Ventura Marcó del Pont. In 1929 the Buenos Aires Western Railway bought the property, after which it was abandoned and illegally occupied.
