Estrugamou Building, Beaux-Arts architectural landmark in Retiro, Argentina
The Estrugamou Building features classical French design with chimneys, mansard roofs, three-story columns, and intricate cornices at Juncal and Esmeralda streets.
Commissioned by landowner Alejandro Estrugamou in 1924, architects Eduardo Sauze and August Huguier completed this residential building just before the 1929 financial crisis.
The structure reflects the French architectural influence in Buenos Aires during the 1920s, when European designs shaped the urban development of the city.
Each floor contains four equivalent apartments measuring between 500 and 600 square meters, with five family bedrooms and three servant quarters per unit.
The interior courtyard displays a bronze reproduction of the Winged Victory of Samothrace statue, visible through an iron door on the southern facade.
