Borda House, Colonial mansion in Historic Center, Mexico
The Borda House features stone decorative details on the ground floor and exterior ironwork balconies stretching across multiple city streets in downtown Mexico City.
Built in 1775 by architect Francisco Antonio Guerrero y Torres for José de la Borda, this residence incorporated red tezontle rock and grey sandstone across three floors.
The main entrance displayed a Virgin of Guadalupe statue in its niche, representing the religious influences of colonial Mexican architecture in the 18th century.
The building spans across 27, 29, and 33 Madero Street, as well as 26-28 Bolivar streets, with preserved sections now housing various commercial establishments.
Number 33 Madero Street contained one of Mexico City's first movie theaters, the Salón Rojo, which featured an electric escalator in the early 1900s.
