BENJAMIN B.

ANDRADA BUILDING

According to the
caretaker of the building, this
pre-war ancestral home was
built by the couple Capt.
Benjamin B. Andrada and
Mrs. Concepcion Lluch-
Andrada. It has been
converted into a private
museum, showcasing
mementos and collections of
the family. A wooden
staircase on the side of the
building leads to the area
with snippets of the past. One of the most prominent features of this house turned
museum are the decorative stained-glass windows. The intricate patterns are the silent
witnesses of the past. Looking through the items in the museum, one could take a
glimpse of the life of the Andrada family. Their personal belongings show that they were
stylish, classy, elegant -- true marks of high in social class. They celebrated a lot, too!
With cakes! There were jars and jars containing portions of the cake -- each carefully
labeled. It also seems they are devout Catholics, with a collection of religious pieces,
crucifixes, and rosaries, among others. And what really interested in this building is their
apparent love for travel. Looking at the travel mementos they kept, it wondered what the
stories behind those souvenir items were. I bet they had wonderful experiences, epic
adventures, and great stories to tell.  And then their cars can caught your eyes on your
way out. I wonder where these babies took them, if they enjoyed road trips, and how far
and how often they went. So much travel stories! There's really something about old
buildings. They may be worn out and maybe abandoned, but they're still incredibly
beautiful. More than the appearance, perhaps it's the history embedded through time
that makes them so irresistibly exciting and charming ... something you can never take
from a building that has been around for a while. This building is one of the ancestral
heritage that every iliganons are proud of.
