| Description
& History of the Place |
| In
1896, Patricio Heavy sold or donated 44,460 m2 (4.5 hectares,
11 acres) to the Director of the Central Buenos Aires, Mr.
Federico Lacroze, to build the railway station (2708/1896/M).
[1]. Recently, since the branch line was
closed by the railway company, the Heavy family asked the
company to return the lands. The station was adapted to residential
house, which is now the home of a descendant of Patricio Heavy.
