Villa Peñafrancia, Historic house in Paco District, Manila, Philippines
The Jose P. Laurel Ancestral House displays masonry materials on its lower level and wooden elements with capiz-shell windows on the upper floor.
Built in 1861 during the Spanish Colonial Period, this residence belonged to Jose P. Laurel, who served as President of the Second Philippine Republic.
The architecture incorporates traditional Filipino design elements, including ventanillas below upper windows and decorative floral patterns in the vented eave ceilings.
The National Historical Commission of the Philippines designated the property as a Historic Building in March 1998, marked by a commemorative plaque.
The house survived three severe earthquakes in July 1880 that caused extensive damage to numerous buildings throughout Manila.
