Palacio Elortondo Alvear, Gothic Revival building at Florida Street and Corrientes Avenue, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Palacio Elortondo Alvear displays pointed arches and rose windows combined with Italian balustrades across its three-story limestone facade.

Built between 1870 and 1880, English engineer Edward Taylor designed this residence for Federico Elortondo and Isabel Armstrong at a narrow Corrientes Avenue.

The palace hosted notable social gatherings, including the 1882 wedding of Carlos María Diego de Alvear and María de las Mercedes de Elortondo.

The ground floor has undergone multiple commercial transformations, from the leather goods store Casa Mayorga to modern retail establishments.

The marble staircase and original upper floor decorative moldings remain intact despite numerous renovations throughout the building's existence.
