Padilla House
Address: San Miguel de Tucumán, 25 de Mayo 36.
This house dates from around 1870, it is remarkable because of the treatment
of the facade with pilasters, cornice and wrought iron railings which are
the most outstanding characteristics of Italian architecture. These were the
special architectural traits which were determinant for its preservation over
the years.
It belonged to Governor José Frías, who divided the house into
two parts and handed them over to his two children during his lifetime. Thus
Doña Lastenta Frías de Padilla settled there with his husband,
Angel Cruz Padilla, the city mayor. Padilla's descendants donated the original
furniture of the house, thanks to which a furniture museum could be created
with a setting capable of transmitting an idea of what the interior of houses
was like during the past century.
