Its name recalls Don Juan Almagro y de la Torre, who was the original owner of these lands.
After the railroad, a notable promoter of the development of the neighborhood, came the Lacroze rural tram, whose station was located at the intersection of current Corrientes and Medrano, from where it left for Chacarita.
The most important plotting of plots took place in the middle of 1870, when the firm Rodríguez, Larrosa y Cía., Carried out subdivision works and thus made the first sales.
On May 8, 1878 the Parish of San Carlos was erected, the construction of whose current temple began on June 24, 1901 when its cornerstone was then placed.
It is said that Almagro back in 1930 was the glory of the handsome porteños. Before, as now, the life and movement of Almagro was in Rivadavia and Medrano and or Castro Barros, where the Las Violetas confectionery was inaugurated in 1884. It was considered a poor neighborhood so it grew slowly.
In the neighborhood in 1885 150 lanterns were placed to illuminate its surroundings. In Maza 41 there was a gasometer that supplied gas to the gas lanterns on the streets of Bs. As. In 1907 there was a municipal public laundry in Rivadavia between Maza and Boedo, where poor neighbors washed clothes and bathed.
The History of a Business: Violets
Rivadavia Avenue, a wagon road, linked the Plaza de Mayo with the far west towards Flores. During the yellow fever epidemic in 1870, wealthy people sought refuge in the highlands, including Flores, a summer resort, linked to the city by the Western Railroad. In 1876, the Anglo Argentina company built one of the first horse trams on that Rivadavia street.
The economic prosperity of the 1880s produced a huge expansion of the city and its surroundings. New buildings, businesses flourished. The city wants to stop being “the great village”.
Although the corner of Medrano and Rivadavia is only 4 km from the Plaza de Mayo, it was a place "where the devil lost his poncho."
There a confectionery was installed, with golden chandeliers and Italian marbles. On the opening day, September 21, 1884, even the minister Carlos Pellegrini, future president of the country, was present, transported by a special tram, accompanied by many of his distinguished friends. His tables were a meeting place for artists and writers, including Roberto Arlt and politicians of the time.
But it is around the 1920s when the current building was built. With its stained glass windows and curved glass doors, its French stained glass windows and its Italian marble floors. The restored stained glass windows were conceived to adorn and brighten the pleasant atmosphere of a cafe of those times, where people would spend moments of relaxation in an area or.
In 1857, next to the Western Railway, the disappeared Almagro station was born at the corner of the current Medrano, surrounded then by the tambos and warehouses that with their inevitable Basque pelota frontons, characterized the place.
The building was declared "Historic Place of the City" in 1998 by the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires. For several years before the current restoration the place remained closed and semi-abandoned. The restoration of the building, its components and the stained glass windows began in January 2001, and ended in June.
