Naval Center

Tuesday 22 May 2007

I was taking a picture of this building when an old man came up and starting talking to me. Unfortunately, he was speaking with a thick oldmanese accent, which makes any foreign language very difficult to understand, but basically what I understood was that: This was, and possibly still is, the Argentine Naval headquarters. Also, it is the oldest building on the street/block/in the neighborhood.

The stripes of decoration on the building is actually all carvings of seashells, very neat, and fitting. And there's a very elaborate marine-themed door, complete with Poseidon!
