Location & reason for "Darwinion" House in Buenos Aires.? My memory is really nagging me. As a child I lived in Buenos Aires, on Repetto corner with Franklin, I think. Can't remember the name of the area. I used to bicycle around and found what looked to be a very mysterious house. Art Deco style, strong features, called Darwinion. And now that everyone is aware of Charles Darwin's bicentenary, I found out he had visited Buenos Aires in the 1830s. So what's the connection? Where exactly is the house? Where can I get pics of it? All I could find so far are leads to a Botanical Institute called Darwinion in Bs As, but no address. Help please, particularly from anybody who knows the city fairly well? Thanks!
