How Long Does A Fibriod Takes To Degenerated

urban Discovery (Building Minerva) Rough Cuts

A man stops at the door of a red brick building located in the heart of the Colonia Roma, one afternoon in mid-January 1973. Unusual four towers, also brick, top corner of the building. For decades, the building has been an architectural extravagance in this peaceful residential neighborhood of another style. Indeed, in recent years, nothing out of tune, because the whole neighborhood has lost its harmony. The weight of the new buildings cracks the graceful homes of two, at most three floors, built in the style of early century in Bordeaux, Biarritz, in Auteuil. There is something sad and dirty in that direction until recently could still hold some displays of elegance, powerful class of old, battered but not defeated [...]

If August Lightning Jorge Ibargüengoitia changed the names of Alvaro Obregon, Plutarco Elias Calles and others, Pitol did the same with this construction. "No," the Herald reported me, "the building is the House of Witches." That first time in Colonia Roma, one of the architectural extravaganzas that caught my attention was, indeed, the House of Witches. Unwittingly, I was at the site of the fictitious murders Pitol, epicenter of his novel, and did not know.

there and not because the urban-style one of the many mysteries of the city was renamed to this building as Casa de las Brujas. Building Her name is Rio de Janeiro and is located in Durango Avenue, next to the park of the same name, with the source of The David the center.
