The **Club del Progreso** is an aristocratic Argentine club in Buenos Aires, founded in 1852, after the fall of [Juan Manuel de Rosas](/source/Juan_Manuel_de_Rosas).[1] It was originally a [gentlemen's club](/source/Gentlemen's_club), historically located in the neighborhood of [Monserrat](/source/Monserrat,_Buenos_Aires).[2]

## History

It was founded by Diego de Alvear and [Rufino de Elizalde](/source/Rufino_de_Elizalde) on May 1, 1852. Its first headquarters was installed in a house located at the Calle Perú 147, in the Monserrat district.[3] Later it was installed in the Palacio Muñoa, a building made by the English engineer Edward Taylor, located a few meters from the old headquarters on Calle de la Victoria 602.[4]

The Club del Progreso moved its headquarters again in 1900, this time in a building on Avenida de Mayo 633, retaining that headquarters until 1941.[5] Among its partners were several aristocrats, politicians, military and Argentine presidents, including [Justo José de Urquiza](/source/Justo_Jos%C3%A9_de_Urquiza), [Domingo Faustino Sarmiento](/source/Domingo_Faustino_Sarmiento), [Bartolomé Mitre](/source/Bartolom%C3%A9_Mitre) and [Julio Argentino Roca](/source/Julio_Argentino_Roca).[6]
