Casa del Puente....












Mar del Plata, 1946, by Amancio Williams (click to enlarge)
.
This marvelous house is classified since 1989 as a Monumento Histórico Nacional, and, as so, I presume it should be under the protection of the argentinian law (!?)
.
Another very sad example of the argentinian laissez-faire, is the former Club Ariston (also in Mar del Plata), by Marcel Breuer, Eduardo Catalano and Francisco Coire.
.
Here you can find the rest of the (sad) story.
