Construction features of the historical architecture in the sea port city of Valparaiso: architect E.O.F. Harrington’s brick masonry buildings
This research aims to contribute to the field of construction history in Chile, specifically in the seaport city of Valparaiso, in the period between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which was a time of great economic and urban development. The work of Esteban Orlando Harrington-a...
