Reconquista Plaza Building, Bank building at Reconquista and Bartolomé Mitre streets, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Reconquista Plaza Building features a distinctive tower with a dome flanked by two Atlas figures on its corner section facing the intersection.
Architect Ernesto Sackmann designed this structure in 1924 for the German Transatlantic Bank, which operated here from 1926 until significant changes in 1945.
The building represents early 20th-century Argentine banking architecture with its substantial use of sandstone, bronze fixtures, and marble interior finishes.
The structure contains two basement levels, a ground floor, and six upper floors, originally designed with banking halls and rental office spaces.
The construction required 2,500,000 kilograms of round iron in its reinforced concrete skeleton, demonstrating advanced engineering methods of the 1920s.
