Description:
The Martiniano Alquizola house, constructed in 1890, is a classic example of a Spanish Bahay na Bato in Barili. Like other bahay na bato structures of the era, it boasts a large rectangular design with two levels. The ground floor served as a stable for horses and grain storage. The house features an impressive wooden staircase, while ornate capiz shells adorn its 14 window frames, providing both light and ventilation. Additionally, seven ventanillas made of twisted wrought iron decorate the space beneath the window sills.[2]
