Edificio Unión Telefónica, Eclectic architecture building in Monserrat, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Edificio Unión Telefónica stretches across eleven floors with an H-shaped layout, featuring two decorated entrances adorned with carved seashell motifs in stone.
Built in 1929 by architects Calvo, Jacobs, and Giménez, this structure replaced an 18th-century house belonging to the Obligado family on the same site.
The building represents the progression of telecommunications in Argentina, transforming from a private company headquarters to a state-owned facility during the 1946 nationalization.
Located near Plaza de Mayo, the building contains multiple office spaces with natural light through central courtyards and maintains its original architectural elements.
The structure incorporates three distinct sections spanning the entire plot width, with specialized areas including a rooftop printing facility.
