Phoenix Building


Fénix is ​​a building located in the center of the city of Trelew, province of Chubut, Argentina. Located on Avenida Fontana, in the heart of the city, it has 10 floors and its use is residential and commercial (a commercial gallery occupies the ground floor and the first floor). It was designed by Dujovne - Hirsch & amp; Associates and opened in 1982. History

The building is located where the Chubut Central Railroad neighborhood used to be, with a front on Fontana Avenue and San Martín and Roca Streets, which would run the same fate as its railroad after its closure. Although he was authorized between 1951 and 1952, the transfer never happened to his 15 families who fought for his award in vain. The argument put forward for its destruction was the appearance of the neighborhood was not in keeping with the central location it occupied and with the pretensions of 'progress' and 'modernization' of the city. The families were finally evicted in 1977 and in March 1978 the demolition began.
