Originally the Harry B. Hollins Residence, 12 W. 56th St. houses the Consulate General of Argentina. The four-and-a-half story building was designed by McKim, Mead & White in the Georgian Revival style. It was constructed between 1899 and 1901 as a private residence. The entrance is through a central porch on the east side of the building, designed by James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter Jr. as part of an annex completed in 1924. The house was commissioned for stockbroker H. B. Hollins and his wife Evalina. The couple had initially planned to design their house alongside their neighbor Frederick C. Edey, at 10 W. 56th St., but the Hollinses built their house alone because a covenant temporarily prevented it from being built. The house was sold to the Calumet Club in 1914 and was used by the club until 1935. It was then used by several tenants for short terms, including Charles Joel Duveen, he International Silk Guild and The Salvation Army. The government of Argentina has owned the building since 1947; it initially used the house as the offices of an Argentine Navy commission before opening a consulate there.
