One of Mexico City's most spectacular historic sites

This house located in Colonia Juaréz, built in 1905 by engineer Alberto Robles Gil, is one of the great jewels of Porfiriato architecture. It is surprising that this building was abandoned. Each period through which it passed, each different use it had, is documented in a palimpsest of colors and materials fantastically preserved today.

Its generous courtyards and majestic staircases, its great heights and elegant finishes, were, paradoxically, the pompous setting of a modest store dedicated to the sale of glass in the seventies. Its previous use does not respond much to the logic of the building, being the headquarters of the offices of La Tabacalera Mexicana de cigarros Delicados, which rented the building to the Dondé Foundation, who acquired the building in 1938. 

When we look into the character of Robles Gil, who lived in that house for more than thirty years, the true scale of the place becomes apparent. This engineer was in charge of important public works throughout the country, at a time of great growth. Important political agreements were signed in the halls of his house, in addition to important receptions and dances.

Today the house retakes that celebratory spirit, in a building that manages to understand the poetics of the ruin, thanks to its great architectural interventions and a fantastic landscaping. On the roof of the building, a greenhouse built by architect Alberto Kalach is perhaps the only dialogue that exists with the contemporary.
