Aduana Taylor, Historical customs building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Aduana Taylor features a semicircular design with five floors, fifty-one vaulted warehouses, and a central tower with a lighthouse at the waterfront.
Constructed between 1855 and 1859, the building served as Buenos Aires' primary customs facility during a period of significant economic growth and maritime trade.
The structure represents the first major public building in Buenos Aires, marking the city's transformation into a major South American commercial center.
The remains of the building now form part of the Bicentennial Museum, located at the intersection of Belgrano and Ingeniero Huergo avenues.
The construction required reclaiming land from the Rio de la Plata and included a 300-meter wooden pier that allowed large vessels direct access to the customs house.
