ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
Built in between 1860 to 1865, Camiña Balay Nga Bato means “house by the river. The structure of the house was the evolution of the typical vernacular bahay kubo or “cube house.” Improvements and renovations have been made through the years, but the house itself has stood the test of time.

Made from strong and natural materials – the roof was made of bamboo and nipa later turned into g.i. sheets; the floors are made of narra and ivory. The foundation was supported by 24 tree trunks. Back then, the more trunks that a house has, the wealthier the family that owns it.
