Suipacha's house

   The city of Buenos Aires, rich in fantastic architecture, does not cease to dazzle with its buildings; as is the case with your art nouveau from Suipacha Street, built more than a hundred years ago, where it continues to exude elegance and conceal the history of its secrets. 

Completed a year after the sinking of the RMS Titanic, this building is a grand expression of late XNUMXth century modernist architecture.

The style is shared with other buildings in Buenos Aires such as Casa Calise, El Palacio de los Lirios or Casa de los Azulejos, but the Suipacha house 936 - 940 It has, however, a peculiarity: the only history we have of its interior reveals it not only as a “petit-hotel” with six rooms and five bathrooms, but as a night place, a house of Dating, as Iuri Izrastzoff tells us in "Fervor for Buenos Aires".

The person in charge of making this jewel was Bernardo milli, whose name is engraved on the facade. 

It stands out "the excellent cedar carpentry of the openings and the design of the pink granite that covers the front, developed in curves and scrolls that seem to stretch felinely" as expressed by Iuri Izrastzoff.

They say that in front of his abstract style and certain pomp, he found an unsuspecting gentleman on one of his Buenos Aires nights, who, taciturn, was fascinated not so much by the facade of Suipacha's house, but rather by the beautiful lady he met smoking at the door. The man, just arrived from the north of the country, was dazzled by that beauty of Buenos Aires, and clumsily approached the girl. 

He started to express his fascination.

- What a beautiful night, but nothing compared to you and your beauty-

The woman was accustomed to the men who gawked at her and to their machinelike compliments that she sometimes recognized as correct in herself and other times not, she asked the man if he wanted to come in. Sure, the break time was over.

"Of course!" Said the knight. "You may think I am not serious, but I have never seen such beauty," he continued.

She would simply glide, feline as the house she inhabited, into the corresponding room as he followed her.

There she exhibited her charms, the man consummating her desires, he would never forget her. 

When he finished, the woman earnestly asked him for the corresponding fee for his diligent service. It was difficult for the man to understand, he was sure that the woman had really wanted to consummate the act and that it was not a mere service. His enthusiasm for telling his friends how easily he had seduced this wonderful lady faded and he felt extremely ashamed. 

Especially since the total in his wallet did not cover even half of what he had to pay. 

They say that, by way of payment, he spent the night cleaning Suipacha's house even in its corners, and that what began for the man as a beautiful night ended as an unexpected anecdote that he would no longer know how to forget.
Little do we know how many such stories can still be recovered and how many will never be discovered behind those undulations and abstract ornaments that run through its surface, crowned under its dome, “with wrought iron finish ".
