Palacio Salvo...it was the tallest building in South America when it was built in 1922...
I believe we read somewhere that the beacon on top correspondes with a similar one in Buenos Aires, the idea being that on a clear night you could see the other city´s light across the Rio de la Plata.....

other sizes: small medium large original auto
