Palacio Dassen, Historical mansion in Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Palacio Dassen spans 423 square meters and features a 60-meter tower with 365 steps leading to an astronomical observatory at its summit.
Completed in 1914 by architects Alejandro Christophersen and Claro Cornelio Dassen, the building initially served as both a family residence and automobile showroom.
The interior displays intricate oak carvings with scientific and masonic symbols, reflecting Dassen's interests as a mathematician and educator at the University of Buenos Aires.
The building houses the Argentine Actors Association since 1983 and received national historic monument status through Law 25.176 in 1999.
A central glass brick skylight illuminates the first-floor hall, while the narrow structure measures only 7.70 meters wide despite extending 56 meters in depth.
