Palacio de la Reconquista, Academic art building near Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Palacio de la Reconquista stands at the intersection of Bartolomé Mitre and Reconquista streets, displaying detailed architectural elements on its exterior and interior spaces.
Construction of the building began in 1912 as a branch of Banco Anglo Sudamericano, but World War I delayed its completion until 1920.
The Municipality of Buenos Aires recognized the architectural excellence of the Palacio de la Reconquista by awarding it the second prize for Best Facade in 1925.
The building maintains its original structure at the corner of Bartolomé Mitre and Reconquista streets, within walking distance of multiple financial institutions and transportation hubs.
English architect Paul Bell Chambers and American architect Louis Newbery Thomas combined their expertise to create this structure, which later housed several banking institutions.
