BAHAY ANTIGO

Brgy. Paralaya, Arayat, Pampanga

Built in 1895, it was one of the biggest house built back then and was able to withstand the test of time. Very little is known about the history of the property. The house has been inherited from Rodolfo Santos and Martina Samia Santos, by their seven children namely; Alejandrino Santos, Rudolfo Santos Jr, Maria Rita Santos, Eduardo Santos, Serafin Santos, Reynaldo Santos and Dorothy Santos. None of the siblings grew or lives in the house, it is currently under maintenance by their caretaker.

The house retains its original furnishing to this day. The exterior and interior still showcase the design of its original Spanish occupation period and are well preserved. To date, the house serves as a specimen of architecture of Arayat’s Spanish colonial period.
