Off Calle (Street) Defensa near Plaza (Square) Dorrego 1179 Defensa St. As European immigrants poured into BA after the yellow fever epidemic, many large mansions were converted into conventillos, tenements. This is a traditional large house from 1880, which was the residence of the Ezeiza family. The house has two floors and contains several rooms on a lateral gallery. On the ground floor you can visit three courtyards: Time Courtyard; Tree Courtyard and Ezeiza's Courtyard. On the upper floor there is a patio. At present a commercial gallery is run here with some antique dealers, vintage clothes shops, art galleries, souvenir shops, etc
