Шаблон:Infobox building The Club del Progreso is an aristocratic Argentine club in Buenos Aires, founded in 1852, after the fall of Juan Manuel de Rosas.[1] It was originally a gentlemen's club, historically located in the neighborhood of Monserrat.[2]
History
It was founded by Diego de Alvear and Rufino de Elizalde on May 1, 1852. Its first headquarters was installed in a house located at the Calle Perú 147, in the Monserrat district.[3] Later it was installed in the Palacio Muñoa, a building made by the English engineer Edward Taylor, located a few meters from the old headquarters on Calle de la Victoria 602.[4]
The Club del Progreso moved its headquarters again in 1900, this time in a building on Avenida de Mayo 633, retaining that headquarters until 1941.[5] Among its partners were several aristocrats, politicians, military and Argentine presidents, including Justo José de Urquiza, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Bartolomé Mitre and Julio Argentino Roca.[6]
