In 1927 Ricardo Rojas commissioned the construction of his house to the architect Ángel Guido, giving rise to the meeting of two protagonists of the national culture. Rojas asked that the construction be based on his book Eurindia, which proposed a new interpretation of American history. La Casa de Charcas at 2837, whose façade bears a strong resemblance to La Casa de Tucumán, was the writer's home from 1929 to 1957. It currently belongs to the National State, in response to Rojas' own request that the house be converted into a museum after his death and that of his wife.
