Casa Escasany, Gothic Revival building in Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Casa Escasany rises at the intersection of Rivadavia and Peru streets, featuring vertical lines and ornate architectural details across its facade.
Built in 1944 to house the Escasany jewelry company, this building remained the headquarters of Argentina's largest jewelry retailer until 1978.
The Westminster Chimes clock on the building marked time for generations of Buenos Aires residents, becoming part of the city's daily rhythm.
The structure now functions as an office building, with a Burger King restaurant operating on the ground floor at Rivadavia 620.
Multiple clocks once adorned the building's exterior, displaying times from different world capitals through a sophisticated mechanical system.
