Buenos Aires was in its heyday in the 1920s when the automobile had just become popular. With the advent of cars came the need for garages to service them (particularly since they were frightfully unreliable in the early days of motoring).

The decorative work on the facades is varied and ornate, and more often than not complemented with rogue greenery.
