The Villar Residence, mistakenly called Haedo for many years, is a 19th-century building in the Retiro neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is located on Avenida Santa Fe, to the southwest of the Torre Monumental and across the street from Plaza San Martín, in close proximity to the Plaza Hotel. It was built as a residence for colonel Reinaldo Villar (1830-1908), a wealthy landowner from Entre Ríos province, and his family.
