The building of the Seventh Precinct, located opposite the Plaza de Godoy Cruz, is not only one of the first to be built for the police in the province, but also until recently housed the Registry, so the uniformed were mixed repeatedly with young bride dressed. In addition, an architectural form with the church of San Vicente Ferrer, almost adjacent to the building, which was declared a few days ago Cultural Heritage Department. Although there are other heritage buildings such as the city council or the Cine Teatro Plaza- church and police station in the vicinity of the departmental square are noted for their height and because they share the same type of plaster, made with sand from San Luis, which gives them a brown shade faux stone. This termination was widely used in public buildings that were built in the province in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Both have a silhouette against the sky, and while the styles are different, have a management scales and proportions that makes them beautiful buildings, Nardechia Marcelo, head of the Department of Cultural Heritage said municipality. Moreover, he stressed that the properties were recognized as part of the heritage of a department not only for its architectural value but because of its importance for the neighbors and the close relationship that has kept the station with godoicruceña community. The Seventh was built in 1926 on land the district purchased to be earmarked for Municipal House, and until the middle of last century was the only one in Godoy Cruz. But it worked on the first floor the Registry, that in September this year was taken to a hypermarket Street Joaquín V. González. The agent told Angela Damelio often brides were dressed in white, at special times, because they married in the church of San Vicente Ferrer. Therefore, there are those who lament the transfer registry as well as the couple could take pictures in the square. Although sharing the building with the police also brought some drawbacks, especially when the civil ceremony was done in the lobby to prevent a person had to climb the stairs, and at the same time entered uniformed prisoners, passing casorio between participants. Although the building was 80 years old and has not undergone a major intervention with the exception fix clock on the top of the tower in 2005, highlighted Nardechia having a good general condition and has been maintained by Police. The Myriam Echegaray agent who works there since 2002, said that the station is very nice and when you see the material comprising the doors would not be used today, so try to look after them. In fact, Damelio indicated that when the clock was fixed, and before you placed an engine had to be wound every 12 hours. For this, there was a designated group, serving, Saturdays, Sundays and feriados- to go to turn the crank allowing the continued operation shifts. And the love that you have some police to the station is such that Echegaray recalled that one day crossed the courtyard to get to the kitchen and saw it was covered with a whitish powder like talc. When he asked what it was, he was told they were the ashes of a uniformed who worked at the Seventh long to die and asked his remains be scattered there. Source: Diario Los Andes
