Resumo: | Located in Largo do Paissandu, the Hotel Victoria inaugurated at the final stage of what was called the brazilian “Belle Époque”. With six pavements, piped water and eletrical installation, it had a notorious place at the main periodics of the city. After a decade of operation, it mysteriously disappears of the newspapers. With Prestes Maia’s Plan of Avenues and the resignification of the “modern”, emerges the need to link São Paulo to a architectural model that resembled cities like New York. Thus, the building was demolished to give room to the Wilton Paes de Almeida Building, that, years later, wold be recognized as a patrimony of the city. |
