Casa Creel

Casa Creel, Neobaroque monument in central Chihuahua City, Mexico

Casa Creel is a two-storey neobaroque building at the corner of Libertad and Segunda streets, on the west side of Plaza de Armas next to Chihuahua Cathedral. Its corner facing the square is cut at a 45-degree angle, and ornate iron railings stand before the upper-floor windows. It now houses the offices of Grupo Intermex.

General Luis Terrazas commissioned its construction between 1893 and 1894 to serve as the headquarters of Banco Minero Chihuahuense. The building emerged during a period when mining interests held considerable economic power in the Chihuahua region.

The building takes its name from Enrique C. Creel, who lived with his family on the upper floor while the Banco Minero occupied the ground floor. On 13 October 1909 Porfirio Díaz stayed here for two days and watched parades and tributes from the balcony. Creel later accompanied Díaz to the meeting with William Howard Taft and served as interpreter.

Casa Creel stands at the corner of Libertad and Segunda streets, on the western corner of the Plaza de Armas beside the cathedral. Its corner facing the square is cut at a 45-degree angle, and ornate iron railings sit before the upper-floor windows. The building is occupied by the offices of Grupo Intermex, so visitors view the facade from the street.

The Banco Minero robbery of March 1908 became a public scandal: three junior employees were blamed, but many suspected an inside job arranged by Juan Creel and Joaquín Cortázar hijo, with the governor implicated. Unsolved inquiries fed discontent with the Terrazas-Creel clan before the Revolution.
