_____
The house is a bahay na bato structure. It has one main door leading to the wooden staircase to the formal rooms of house; a stone staircase leading up to the storage rooms of the house. Only minor alterations were made over the years. These are the roofs over the doors of the house and the additional roofing added over the windows of the house. These alternatives were made to protect the interiors of the structure from the elements especially rain accompanied by strong rains. Otherwise, the house has remained the same for one hundred eleven years.
