HFF Buenos Aires Argentina 30th June 2014

Situated at 1860 Santa Fe Avenue in Barrio Norte, this building was designed by the architects Peró and Torres Armengol for the empresario Max Glucksman and opened as a theatre called Teatro Gran Splendid in May 1919.

The ornate former theatre was leased by Grupo Ilhsa in February 2000 owners of El Ateneo and Yenny booksellers. Converted into a book and music shop it became the group's flagship store, and in 2007 sold over 700,000 books.

I was on a business visit to BA & was recommended to visit the unusual book shop!

HFF to everyone & I hope you have a great weekend.
