School N° 5, called Alejandro and Samuel Lafone was founded in 1907.

The Lafone brothers had purchased the peninsula from the government in 1843, and agreed to found a town on one hundred blocks or so.

The agreement included a few clauses in benefit of the area’s schools, and the specific clause that the Lafone building would always remain a property of the government as long as it was used as a school, which explains why it still exists in this prime real estate area.

The school consists of two L-shaped buildings enclosing a patio.

During the summer, it is used for exhibitions and presentations.
