The house of Suipacha

   The city of Buenos Aires, rich in fantastic architecture, never ceases to dazzle with its constructions; such is the case of its art nouveau on Suipacha Street, built more than a hundred years ago, where it continues to exude elegance and hide the history of its secrets. 

This building, completed a year after the sinking of the RMS Titanic, is a grandiose expression of late 19th century modernist architecture.

It shares its style with other buildings in Buenos Aires such as the Casa Calise, the Palacio de los Lirios or the Casa de los Azulejos, but the house of Suipacha 936 - 940 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 also as a night spota house of quotesas Iuri Izrastzoff tells us in "Fervor for Buenos Aires".

The person in charge of making this jewel was Bernardo Milliwhose name is engraved on the façade. 

The "excellent cedar woodwork of the openings and the design of the pink granite that covers the front, developed in curves and scrolls that seem to be felinely awakening," as Iuri Izrastzoff puts it, "stand out.

It is said that in front of his abstract style and a certain pomp, he met an unsuspecting gentleman on one of his nights in Buenos Aires, who, taciturn, was fascinated not so much by the façade of the house on Suipacha, but rather by the beautiful lady he found smoking at the door. The man, recently arrived from the north of the country, was dazzled by the beauty of Buenos Aires, and awkwardly approached the girl. 

He set out to express his fascination.

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

Accustomed to the men gawking at her and their machinic compliments that she sometimes recognised in herself as accurate and sometimes not, she asked the man if he wanted to come in. Of course, the rest hour was over.

-Certainly," said the gentleman. -You may think I am not serious, but I have never seen such a beauty," he continued.

She simply glided, as feline as the house she inhabited, into the appropriate room as he followed. 

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

When she finished, the woman earnestly asked for the fee for her diligent service. The man found it hard 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 to tell his friends of the ease with which he had seduced this wonderful lady faded and he felt extremely embarrassed. 

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

They say that, as payment, he spent the night cleaning the house in Suipacha, even among its corners, and that what began for the man as a beautiful night ended up as an unexpected anecdote that he would never forget.
Little do we know how many such stories may yet be recovered and how many will never be discovered behind those undulations and abstract ornaments that run across its surface, crowned beneath its dome, "with wrought iron finial"..
