January 14, 2020 - "Located in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires, the so-called "Cathedral" of the Magazine, the Maipo Theater, is located on Esmeralda Street No. 443, between Corrientes Avenue and Lavalle Street.
It is part of the traditional and historical theatrical area of the city, and it is a neighbor of other historical theaters such as the Gran Rex, the Opera and the Tabarís.
The building is incorporated on a preventive basis to the Catalog of Patrimonial Properties of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, within the framework of the bill for approval of the Historical Protection Area "Calle Lavalle", with a level of structural protection.
Located according to the general characteristics of the Buenos Aires Center building, the building is supported by the medians of the adjoining buildings, and with the front raised directly on the municipal line.
The façade is developed in two different reading levels: the one corresponding to the theater itself, at the pedestrian level, and the one of the building that rises above it, which blends with the building's surroundings of the block.
On the ground floor and up to the first floor level, there is access to the theater hall, through an atrium that extends the narrow path of Esmeralda through a retreat from the line of glazed doors that give access to the foyer.
Crown this atrium the metallic marquee of simple lines, with Art Deco inspiration, with the name of the theater.
The almost laconic simplicity of the formal resolution of the element that identifies the theater in the urban space contrasts markedly with the atmosphere that is experienced in the interior, as soon as one enters the foyer of the theater.
Above the marquee, the upper floors of the building are organized in a façade with Italianate characteristics, typical of the 1920s.
Except for the coloring of the current painting, of celestial tones, this façade sector preserves the original language given by the ornamental elements, which in general are in a very good state of conservation.
The interior also presents differentiated characteristics between the sector corresponding to the theater and the body of the upper floors.
The theater itself preserves the decorative details of original Art Deco style, both in the entrance hall and inside the room." Previous text from the following website: www.mibsas.com/en/teatromaipo/

This used to be the Salvation Army and their homeless shelter was on the second floor. Now it is three floors of used building parts and furniture. Unfortunately Salvation Army moved out by the mall.
