Liceo N° 35 Instituto Alfredo Vásquez Acevedo is a secondary school housed in an art nouveau building on José Enrique Rodó Street in central Montevideo. The structure features ornamental elements typical of this architectural style, with distinct decorative details throughout its interior and exterior.

The school was founded in 1911 as part of the University of the Republic, following educational reforms of the previous decades. The institution became an important center for secondary education during a period of significant change in Uruguay's public school system.

The building can be viewed and photographed from the street due to its protected monument status. The facade is best appreciated from José Enrique Rodó Street, where you can see the architectural details clearly.

The school building was declared a National Historical Monument in 1976 and underwent major restoration work between 2004 and 2009. During this restoration, many original architectural elements were carefully preserved and brought back to their original condition.
