Afable Building, Historic medical building in Manila, Philippines.
The Afable Building stands at the corner of Nicanor Reyes Street and Lerma Street, featuring a trapezoidal design facing España Boulevard.
Built between 1931 and 1932, the structure initially housed the Afable College of Medicine and Surgery, established by physician Dr. Valentin Afable.
Filipino architect Pablo Antonio Sr designed the building, incorporating Art Deco elements that reflect the architectural trends of early 20th century Philippines.
The ground floor now contains retail spaces, while the upper levels function as part of Louella Dormitory, accessible from multiple street entrances.
The building displays two distinct architectural periods through its facades: the original 1932 design on Lerma Street and 1960 renovation on Nicanor Reyes Street.
