The Water Building

This is the Water Building on Avenida Cordoba. It is quite a spectacular piece of work. The building is covered in Royal Daulton tiles that were shipped from England and numbered. It all had to be assembled like a jigsaw puzzle. The building was built after the yellow fever epidemic which decimated the old part of the city in San Telmo. In the basement is the water processing plant and on the ground floor is where people pay their water bills.
