The BAGUIO STONE

The rose limestone -- which came to be known as the Baguio Stone simply because it was in Baguio where it was extensively used for architecture -- has become rare, depleted.

The few remaining old houses showcasing the beauty of the Baguio Stone are one by one falling apart, either under the pressure of a demolition team's hammers or plain apathy towards heritage conservation.

HERITAGE BUILDINGS

Baguio's built-heritage is largely ignored at the moment.

Old theater buildings which bespeak of the glorious styles of pre-war architecture and of more peaceful times, are past fading out of the scene, getting decommissioned or simply over ran by the latest developments in the malls.

Over at famous Laperal House (a.ka. White House or Haunted House along Leonard Wood Road) which is of 1923 vintage, a posh hotel will -- soon, sooner or a little later -- rise on the same spot.

Want to take a look INSIDE this haunted house? Here are the LINKS---
