Yowza

This is El Ateneo Grand Splendid, in Buenos Aires. Built in 1919 as a theatre, it was converted into a bookstore in 2000. Although the seats were remove to make way for the books, most of the rest of the building's original features--including the red velvet curtains framing the stage--are still intact.--David E
