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.

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.

The Álzaga Unzué palace speaks of an Argentina of the beginning of the last century, with a society of contrasts between the arrival of poor Europe and the Creole agro-export aristocracy that looked at Europe and dreamed of a new Paris on the banks of the Río de la Plata. The construction was in charge of the Scottish architect Robert Russell, who spent four years in the work, but managed to combine the English Edwardian style that Felix liked with Elena's taste for the French castles of the Loire. It has the typical structure of a hotel particulier of the Belle Époque: a large mansion designed where a single family with four floors of well-defined functions would live.

Declared a historical monument in 2002, the Duhau Palace is one of the architectural examples that remain of the Buenos Aires Belle Epoque. With its history that dictates from the beginning of the century, and its changes in the structure, the Duhau Palace is a sample of the passion that previous owners had for architecture. At the beginning of the 30s, the Duhau brothers acquired the building that belonged to Teodoro de Bari, and they commissioned the architect León Dourge to build the current building. He built it with a French neoclassical style that is still inspiring and unique today.
