At the corner of Alvear Avenue and Rodriguez Peña Street, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta, there is an imposing four-story building that draws attention for its particular physiognomy. This is Casey Palace, the current headquarters of the Ministry of Culture of the Nation. Its red and gray façade, made up of exposed bricks and strips of Paris-like stone and exquisite ornamental details, plus the mansardas in the black slate roofing at the top, make up a visual appeal that causes people passing by not able to resist the temptation to photograph it.

Embajada de Brasil
At the beginning of Alvear Avenue, in front of the Embassy of France and the Plaza Carlos Pellegrini, there is the Pereda Palace, a château of the 20th century that reflects like no other the marked influence of French architecture in the Buenosairean physiognomy of the time.

Residencia Maguire
On the corner of Rodríguez Peña and Alvear streets, stands one of the most enigmatic buildings in the city of Buenos Aires, the Maguire Residence, one of the few surviving works of a corridor of mansions of the upper middle class that were demolished or transformed into hotels.

Since 2002, this lavish villa was declared a National Historic Monument, as were its two adjacent residences, the current Duhau-Park Hyatt Palace and the Apostolic Nunciature, all belonging to a family of French origin: the Duhau.
