It was founded on May 23, 1878, under the name Monte de Piedad (Piety Mount), with the purpose of fighting usury in the city (mostly targeting the growing wave of immigration in Argentina) by giving loans at a below-market interest, in order to reduce social inequalities.

Museo Mitre
The Mitre Museum (Spanish: Museo Mitre) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a museum dedicated to Argentine history, as well as to the legacy of former President of Argentina, Bartolomé Mitre. The museum building is a Spanish colonial house built in 1785. It first appears in Argentine history as the refuge of the last Viceroy of Río de la Plata, Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, following the May Revolution of 1810. In 1860 the house was rented by General Bartolomé Mitre in 1860, and was his residence during his tenure as the 6th President of Argentina between 1862 and 1868.
In 1868 the house was purchased and donated to Mitre by a group of local citizens in recognition of his term as president, as well as for his contributions to national unity; he lived there until his death in 1906. La Nación, one of the nation's oldest and most influential dailies, was published here from its establishment in 1870, until 1895.
