Tornquist Building, Neoclassical building in San Nicolás, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Tornquist Building is a nine-story structure with classical elements located on Bartolomé Mitre in San Nicolás, with two basement levels below. The structure combines office spaces with functional modern facilities such as elevators and air conditioning across multiple floors.
Architect Alejandro Bustillo designed the building in 1928 as the headquarters of Tornquist Bank, which later merged with Banco Río. This merger event in 2000 marked the end of an important financial chapter in the structure's history.
This was home to one of the country's major financial institutions for many decades and shaped the look of the historic banking district. Its presence in this area shows how closely banking and urban development were connected.
The building is located near the city center and is easily accessible by public transportation, situated in a busy business district. The location makes it straightforward to explore the surrounding area with other historical and modern sites.
The main hall extends through three stories and displays an ornate glass ceiling with detailed decorations. This artistic work by Troiano Troiani is one of the lesser-noticed details that makes the interior space distinctive.
