EDIFICIO LUIS COUSIÑO
Building built between 1881 and 1883 and owned by one of the world's wealthiest couples thanks to the mining industry
The Luis Cousiño Building, located between Blanco and Errázuriz streets, was built between 1881 and 1883 by Isidora Goyenechea in memory of her husband Luis Cousiño Squella, a prominent Buenos Aires businessman. The couple was among the most wealthy in the world in the second half of the 19th century, thanks to the mining industry. Unfortunately, a huge fire destroyed the interior of the building in August 1997. Declared a historical monument, it now houses Duoc UC, a private institute of higher learning.
