Banco Argentino Uruguayo Building, Beaux-Arts financial building at Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Edificio Banco Argentino Uruguayo reaches 56 meters in height, featuring eight floors and a cylindrical corner at the intersection of Diagonal Norte and San Martin Street.
French architect Eduardo Le Monnier designed this structure in 1928 during a period of financial institutions expanding their presence in downtown Buenos Aires.
The building displays French academic architecture through ornate balustrades, artistic railings, and portraits of architect Le Monnier above third-floor windows.
The structure contains two basement levels and eight upper floors, with a layout organized around an internal courtyard providing natural light and ventilation.
The trapezoidal plot determined the building's design, incorporating rental offices in upper floors according to the standard business model of 1920s Buenos Aires.
