Boix House

Boix House, Heritage stone house in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines.

The Boix House is a stone residential building in Quiapo, Manila, with two floors containing ten rooms throughout its interior. The structure combines stone, brick, and wooden elements arranged along Bautista Street.

Construction of this house began in August 1895, during the final years of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The building arose at a time when architecture and urban life in Manila were undergoing major shifts.

The building displays late 19th-century architectural details typical of wealthy Manila homes, with its stone and wooden features reflecting the style of that era. The arrangement of rooms shows how residents organized their daily lives within such spaces.

The building is maintained by the Province of the Society of Jesus and sits within Quiapo's older residential district. Visitors should plan time to explore the stone details and interior rooms at a leisurely pace.

The future Philippine President Manuel Quezon lived here as a law student at the University of Santo Tomas, which led to the building being called Quezon Dormitory. This residence became linked to one of the nation's most important political figures.
