I lived in this building until 1978.
It won the "Valmor Prize" of arquithecture in 1921.

Originally there was a big and beautiful statue of an angel that weigh more than 2 Tons. It was placed in front of the circle at the top. It was removed around 1976 due to risc of collapse.

This old picture shows the angel on the top. Apply zoom to see it better:
