Jusay Ancestral House, Historic residential house in Sampaloc, Philippines.
The two-story house features interiors and exteriors made of narra wood, with galvanized iron sheet roofing and cement walls on its exterior portion.
During World War II, Japanese military officials utilized the residence as their headquarters, followed by American forces who occupied it temporarily after their victory.
The residence represents traditional Filipino architectural design from the 1920s, funded by a 100,000-peso sweepstakes prize with construction costs of 18,000 pesos.
The eastern section of the building now functions as an eatery, while the current owner considers selling the property due to maintenance expenses.
The structure earned the nickname 'The Door House' due to its numerous interior doorways and contained a basement with a secret passage now sealed by cement.
