The new Bacolod city hall really looks neat! I love it! Ei favor? Can you please post photos of the old city hall? Thanks!

bacolodchamp · August 10th, 2008, 05:19 PM

The initial design of the Bacolod City Hall back then, was reminiscent of typical two-storey edifices common during the Spanish colonial period.

The lower half of the building was principally made of cut stories, commonly used prior to the advent of hollow blocks.

The upper portion had a protruding part that jutted out towards Araneta Street, supported with five hardwood columns and infused with shaded, cemented walks beneath it.

September 7, 1911. Residence of the Luzuriaga Family up to 1906. Donated by the family to the province which became the Casa Provincial up to 1932 and later became the Municipal Building of Bacolod and then in 1938 became the City Hall. Demolished in the middle '60s to give way for the new city hall.

sorry for the quality of the pic but this is all i can post right now. the old building is located at the center of the bustling downtown area. i

Thanks! It really is very Spanish. It looks nice as well, but I like the new one better.

it had undergone restoration works in recent years but it still bears the original design. the wings on both sides were obstructed by trees.

From the creation of the new Iloilo City (1938) towards the 50's, this was the City Hall of once the Queen City. It was designed by Juan Arellano and the statues of Francesco Monti guarding the main portal of the city hall. It was designed to have a reflective pool extending from the apron of the City Hall towards the sea, as envisioned in the 1930's plan of Arellano.

It became a Japanese garrisson during World War II.

In the 1950's, in order to create a college of the University of the Philippines in Iloilo, the city government gave up the city hall and now houses the UP Visayas' Iloilo City main library, resarch offices, NGO offices and the Center for West Visayan Studies.

The plan by 2010, it will be converted into a museum and library dedicated for the study of the history and culture of Western Visayas.
