One of the grandest ancestral houses in Baclayon, this heritage home was built in 1926. It is a grand adaptation of mid-American colonial house architecture with an emphasis on ornamentation and decoration. The size of the house indicates that the builder was someone of affluent or influential background. The house sits on an imposing embankment made of rip rap stones.

OUR HISTORY
In 2008 the house began restoration under supervision and advice of an architect. The house was renovated and restored to the best of the family’s ability, but still maintains 90% of its original fittings and fixtures.

Its rich history not to be undone by natural disaster. The house withstood typhoons Nitang, Ruping, and Yolanda without much incident, but Super Typhoon Odette (Rai) blew open a part of the second floor and almost destroyed the roof. Fortunately, the family banded together and rebuilt the damaged part of the house right after the New Year.

THE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS
Both American and Spanish period influences are shown through its intricately carved transom windows done in a sunrise pattern along with the more traditional capiz or glass shell windows. Many parts of the second floor and interiors are richly decorated with carved callado. Inside the house plenty of antique furniture including chairs, chests and tables have been preserved by the family for nearly four generations. The house is set to become a century old by 2026.
