The Antique House’s architectural design reflects Spanish colonial influence. The building is a prewar vintage structure and considered to be one of the residences of Carriedo family.

The building is made of concrete slab, concrete columns supporting the second floor wooden frames and roofing tiles supported by wooden trusses.
