What is at this address? It's fronted by a fairly high wall, with an embedded "observation post" (that contains a uniformed guard) and cameras. The only mention I can find on the web is in the archived records of the University of Chile's Law Faculty, in 1972 (the year before the coup), referring to this as their new location. As far as I know the U's Law facility is the other side of the river from Plaza Italia, and "always" has been, so my guess is that after the coup this was seized by the military and is still in use. But why is it mentioned nowhere? There's another address near here I searched for a while back (unfortunately I can't remember it now) which is a fairly new building - a large, square bunker, maybe 4 or 5 stories high, with hardly any windows. In that case the only hit was as the postal address of some retired general. Searching for his name gave testimony to some committee about some stupid social/religious issue, and then the note that he was associated with the financial scandal involving Pinochet's hidden millions in the USA.
