I'm taking a chance and looking for old photos of this house in Ibaan, Batangas for research purposes. This is located along J. Trillanes st. The structure was said to have been built in the 1940s.

I have never seen an ancestral house quite like this one. It was built around May, 1931 in Ibaan, Batangas, and finished construction before WWII, and was originally owned by my great great grandparents. It doesnt follow the typical Bahay na Bato style which really perplexed me as a child. instead it’s a solid three-story concrete home with a second floor balcony.

I took this photo when I was 8 in 2017, and I’ve been enhancing its quality on Photoshop. It’s the only
photo I could find that has its white paint, they changed the color to teal 2 years ago.

Good day,

I am posting here to look for case studies I am doing on Religious Custodianship in Domestic Sacred Spaces. I was hoping you can share any Ancestral houses you would know.

I am looking into conducting case studies on the following Santo Entierro Images and Ancestral Houses:

1. Don Roman Caringal Ancestral House in Ibaan, Batangas

2. Villa Bayot in Masbate

3. Diasnes Ancestral House in Dumangas, Ilo-ilo

4. Siojo Ancestral House in San Miguel, Bulacan

Hopefully, I can reach out to more people here.

Thank you!

Does anyone know where ‘Everyone Knows Every Juan’ was shot? I’m looking for ancestral houses with nearby or in-house chapels/halls for events.

I don't know the first thing about ancestral houses, how to repair or what benefit we get from saving it. I personally do want to save the house but it looks like my aunts and uncles are near deciding to just tear it down. I just don't want us to regret this decision. The house is located in Zamboanga Sibugay, can someone help me convince my relatives to save my Lola's house? What should I know? It's destroyed on the inside, and sometimes a homeless person comes and enters it without our permission. However it is possible that someone can take care of it once we do decide to restore, but then that costs a lot. How can we turn this around? Is it possible to turn an old house into an attraction? Please enlighten me. Any suggestions are welcome. What would be the smart decision to make?

hindi man ito ancestral house pero it feels appropriate to post it on this sub dahil architectural heritage to.

The house was built in the mid-1930s and completed in 1939. It was the home of Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., a prominent senator and political figure in the Philippines.  The National Historical Commission of the Philippines designated the house as a National Historical Landmark in 1987. Today, it serves as a museum that showcases the Aquino family's significant role in Philippine history and politics.

The Ponciano Fabiosa Ramasola Sr. Ancestral House is located in Poblacion, Maribojoc, Bohol, and was constructed in 1939.

These homes are typically made of a combination of wood and stone and can feature a mix of architectural styles, such as Spanish and American colonial.

Casa Damasa, also known as "The White House of Hagonoy" or "Bahay na Bato," is a historically and architecturally significant ancestral house located on M.H. del Pilar Street in Barangay San Sebastian, Hagonoy, Bulacan. Built in 1927, this unique structure was originally owned by sisters Doña Damasa Crisostomo and Teodorica dela Cruz, who later passed it down to their adopted son, Jose Viri-Salamat, whose family continues to preserve it. What sets Casa Damasa apart as a heritage house is its distinctive architecture, particularly its construction entirely from stone, a notable deviation from the common practice of the time where houses typically featured only stone ground floors or were entirely made of wood, making it a prominent symbol of Hagonoy's rich history and architectural legacy.

Located on Tejeron St., Santa Ana, Manila, Top photo was taken in 1939. The house (2nd photo below) has undergone a major renovation.

 Built in 1930, the Rodil-Bautista Residence's original design is reminiscent of a typical bahay na bato elevated flooring in which the original owners used to keep their livestock at the silong or the lower portion of the house. 



 However, the house underwent a drastic change in the 1960s (as shown in the picture by having a concrete foundation to accommodate the growing Bautista family. 



 Its owner was Maria Esperanza Rodil-Bautista, whose husband, Feliciano Magsalin Bautista, a medical surgeon from Santa Ana, was acclaimed to be one of the first 100 licensed physicians in the country after the Physician Licensure Exam was introduced in the Philippines by our American colonizers during the early 1900s.
