El Palacio Anchorena fue construido entre 1905 y 1909, por el arquitecto Alejandro Christophersen, exponente de L'Ecole des Beaux Arts , y a pedido de Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena. Esta inspirado en el proyecto "Hotel a París pour un riche Banquier", con el cual Jean Louis Pascal, maestro de Christophersen, gana el "Grand Prix de Rome" -máximo galardón de la arquitectura de la época- en 1866.
Si bien parece un complejo único, esta constituido por tres residencias: la que da a la calle Esmeralda que fue habitada por Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena con su hijo Aaron, la central que fue habitada por Enrique Anchorena y su familia, y la que da a la calle Basavilbaso, que fue habitada por Leonor Uriburu, viuda de Emilio Anchorena.

The Anchorena Palace was built between 1905 and 1909 by architect Alejandro Christophersen, an exponent of L'Ecole des Beaux Arts, at the request of Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena. It was inspired by the project "Hotel in Paris Banquier pour un riche", with which Jean Louis Pascal, Christophersen's teacher, won the "Grand Prix de Rome"- highest award for architecture of the time-in 1866.
While it seems a unique complex, it consists of three separate residences: one facing the street which has been inhabited by Esmeralda Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena with his son Aaron, the main one that was inhabited by Enrique Anchorena and his family, and the third one facing Basavilbaso Street, which was inhabited by Leonor Uriburu, widow of Emilio Anchorena.
