Confitería Richmond, Literary café in San Nicolás, Argentina.
The French academic style building features Chesterfield leather furniture, Thonet chairs, and refined architectural details throughout its expansive interior spaces.
Established in 1917 by Belgian architect Jules Dormal, Confitería Richmond operated as a social gathering place until its closure in 2011.
The café became a central meeting point for the Florida literary group, including writers Jorge Luis Borges and Victoria Ocampo during the 20th century.
Located at Florida 468, the building now houses retail businesses after being sold for 9 million dollars to an investment fund in 2014.
The establishment appeared in the film 'La Historia Oficial' and maintained its original bar counter until recent commercial transformations.
