Ex Boston Bank (now Standard Bank)

Address: Florida 99 – San Nicolás

This building rises as the symbol of past times when, after World War I, the first north American companies came to the country with an interest in the wool market.
This agency of the First National Bank of Boston, established in Buenos Aires in the year 1917, was the first financial company coming from United States and entering Latin America.
Ten years later, the results of the success of the investment consolidated with the inauguration of an impressive venue erected on the building project on Diagonal Norte.
This building influenced the identity of this corner on Florida Street, with a neo-colonial style of great impact in its facade. There are exact replicas of ornamentations, sculptures and elements of the Spanish Renaissance architecture found in emblematic buildings of the Iberian Peninsula.
