Balay Negrense in Silay City, Negros Occidental

From the airport I headed to Balay Negrense which is located near at Silay City Hall. This old house showcase old lifestyles and heritage. They has a four-meter high ceiling and large windows with ventanillas, smaller windows beneath the large windows with sliding panels that can be opened to admit the wind. The lower storey itself is elevated from ground level by a meter-high crawlspace, allowing the wooden foundations to be aired, preventing dampness from rotting the wood.
