Palacio Fuentes : ウィキペディア英語版 | Palacio Fuentes
The Palacio Fuentes is considered one of the architectural landmarks in Rosario, Argentina. The eclectic edifice in a predominant Beaux-Arts style is located at 722 Sarmiento Street in the heart of Rosario's business district, at the intersection with Santa Fe St. The palace was named after Juan Fuentes Echeverría, the businessman who commissioned the construction of the building that today still bears his name. ==The Developer== Juan Fuentes Echeverría was a Spanish immigrant who settled in Rosario in 1868. Fuentes first worked as a farmer in the neighboring province of Entre Ríos, and later as a dishwasher in Rosario. Eventually he was able to buy a horse-driven cart that he used primarily for scrap metal, which he bought and resold for a good profit. He eventually became a landowner, a stockbreeder and a major player in the agricultural boom of Argentina as a consequence of the high demand for grain in Europe during and after World War I. Immigration to Argentina soon resulted in a shortage of living space, and in the early twenties real estate suddenly became a good business opportunity. Juan Fuentes took advantage of the opportunity, purchasing a lot in the heart of the city's commercial district where he planned to erect the tallest structure in Rosario, a building that would be a reflection of his success.
