Pasaje Pam, Long gallery in downtown Rosario, Argentina
Pasaje Pam is a covered passage in downtown Rosario that connects Santa Fe Street with Cordoba Street through a multi-story building. The gallery runs through the structure creating a sheltered route for pedestrian traffic between these two important streets.
Construction occurred in two phases starting in 1899 and completing in 1914 when the Cordoba Street exit was added. This expansion transformed the passage into its current form connecting both major streets.
The passage takes its name from "Mister Pam", a descendant of an English family settled in Rosario who owned the land where the gallery stands. Around 2011 its tenants included the Rosario Esperanto Association, a lutherie workshop open to public view, language classrooms and literary workshops.
The passage has two entrances: one on Santa Fe Street and another at Córdoba Street 954. The elevator is to the left of the Córdoba entrance. The passage is a pedestrian route through the building, so you can cross between the two streets without going outside.
The elevator to the left of the Córdoba Street entrance was the third installed in Rosario. It is one of the few lifts in the city that still keeps its motor at the bottom of the shaft, since motors are now mounted on top.
