The Hizon–Singian House (Kapampangan: Bale Santungan ding Pamilyang Hizon Singian[1]) is a Bahay na Bato heritage house located in the San Fernando, Pampanga.[2][3]
History
The building that would later be designated as the Hizon–Singian House was built in 1870 by gobernadorcillo of San Fernando, Anacleto Hizon and Victoria Singian de Miranda y de Ocampo.[4][5]
It was also used for military purposes; in the 1896 Philippine Revolution, it was occupied by Spanish general Antonio Ruiz. During World War II from 1943 to 1944, it was used by Imperial Japanese military firces as a troop barracks. When Americans took over, it functioned as the headquarters for American general Walter Krueger until 1945.[4]
The house judged as a well preserved example of Spanish colonial[6] period architecture, having only had slighlty altered pre-World War II, was declared a Heritage House by the National Historical Institute on January 27, 2003 by virtue of Resolution No. 4, S. 2003.[4][7]
