Pablo Fierro, saving southern Chile's Victorian architecture one sketch at a time

Pablo Fierro's gallery along the lake in Puerto Varas Chile

One man, Pablo Fierro, has taken to preserving the architecture of southern Chile in his sketches and paintings. From his studio along the shores of Lago Llanquihue (Lake Llanquihue) in Puerto Varas, Pablo Fierro is trying to capture that character a building only acquires through age and weathering.

Restoration of southern Chile's older buildings is still a relatively rare thing. This perhaps is in part because of a lack of appreciation, and in part simply because many of the old houses have deteriorated to such an extent as to make saving them too expensive. At times it would not be possible because the original woods are endangered, not to mention the skilled workers who can adequately do justice to the structure.

The museum and Gallery has a great collection of southern Chilean antiques

Pablo Fierro's dream is to build a classic southern Chile victorian style museum for the project

Pablo Fierro has is on a mission to promote the beauty and an appreciation for the crumbling old buildings of southern Chile. He currently runs a museum and gallery owned by the city of Puerto Varas with financing from a private company where he displays a collection of southern Chile's antiques alongside his own paintings and drawings of Chile's architecture. He operates this museum based on visitor donations.

His dream is to build a museum and gallery in a classic Victorian style house to permanently preserve this southern Chile heritage and history. If anyone would like to help, you can contact him through All Southern Chile or through his own website www.pablofierro.cl where you will find more photos of his drawings and information about the preservation project. If you make it to Puerto Varas, we highly recommend that you stop in at his museum. Don't forget to drop a little something in his donation tray.
