The history
The Kavanagh Building (Edificio Kavanagh) is located at 1065 Florida St. in the barrio of Retiro, Buenos Aires, Argentina, overlooking Plaza San Martín. Architects Gregorio Sánchez, Ernesto Lagos and Luis María de la Torre, famed for the Empire State Building began work in the 1934 to construct a Rationalist style building, which they completed in 1936.  Designed and built for Corina Kavanagh who lived until recently in the 14th floor penthouse apartment. In 1999, the Argentines declared the building a national historical monument. Edificio Kavanagh is still one of the most impressive architectural masterpieces on Buenos Aires’ skyline. Standing at a height of 120 m, it retains its impact against the modern skyline of the city. The structure designed to be as slender as possible in order to avoid unnecessary weight. The design is a hybrid of a Modernism and an Art Deco style American skyscraper, with a rationalistic approach, and is the apex of early Modernism in Argentina. For many years, the highest reinforced concrete structure in the world and the tallest building in South America the Kavanagh building still arouse equal measures of love and criticism.

The legend
Corina Kavanagh lived for many years on the 14th floor in the largest apartment, and the only one that occupies an entire floor. This Building has a rather bitter legend that is just so very Argentine. It tells of Corina’s revenge on the Anchorena family. One of Corina’s daughters fell in love with the son of the Anchorena family, who were both wealthy and aristocratic. The Anchorena family lived in a palace on the other side of Plaza San Martín (today known as San Martín Palace) and had built a church next to the site of the Kavanagh Building, they disapproved of the engagement to Corina’s daughter who although wealthy they thought she did not have the right breeding. Corina Kavanagh’s revenge was to build her skyscraper to block the view of the Anchorena’s church.
