Natividad Building, Beaux-Arts building in Binondo, Philippines.
The Natividad Building stands at the intersection of Escolta and Tomas Pinpin streets, featuring symmetrical design elements and classical architectural details.
Fernando de la Cantera Blondeau, a Philippine-born Spanish architect, designed this structure in 1928 to house the Philippine Insurance Commission.
The building's lower floors contained Hamilton Brown Shoe Store and H. Alonso Boutique, while upper levels hosted the Philippine Education Company bookstore.
Located in Manila's financial district, the structure maintains its original facade and represents early twentieth-century commercial architecture in the Philippines.
During the 1945 Battle of Manila, the Natividad Building remained largely intact while surrounding structures experienced substantial damage.
