Avenida Paulista
Can you find the Coffee Baron's mansion in this picture?
Avenida Paulista's transformation from residential to commercial district mirrors that of 5th Ave in New York. The estates of the coffee barons have been replaced by modern development, with the occasional exception causing a discontinuity between the multi-national banks and office buildings.
Here, a mansion survived the post-war building boom only to serve as a fast food restaurant.
