In this building, known as the Anti-Venereal Institute or Dispensary, the medical examinations of the women that worked in the brothels were recorded in a health handbook.
The construction is intact with its Italianate architecture facade, characterized by classical and elegant details, and has a perfect combination of elegance, meticulous proportion, and ornaments that evoke the Italian architecture, adapted to the needs and taste of the time.
On the northern party wall, there was a basket house, whose Art Deco facade is also intact and evokes the splendor of the period.
Opposite these buildings, at 150 Suipacha St., stands the former Royal Hotel, whose facade is almost completely renewed. However, it preserves its original entrance, decorated with majolica and naturalistic details, such as herons and flowers, which characterized the aesthetics of the brothels of the beginning of the 20th century.
