Barn Houses

These large old-style and wooden houses, now popularly known as Barn Houses, were built between 1903-1904 by the U.S. Military to serve as quarters for officers based in Clark, Pampanga. The 17 houses can be found along Cardinal Rufino Santos Avenue. 

The houses were designed in a tropical architectural style and were all built out of Oregon pine, which were shipped to the Philippines from the United States. The construction style allowed for cool air to pass under the raised floors and through the wide verandas, which worked best for the country’s tropical climate. Several huge acacia trees were also planted by the barn houses to provide shade during hot days. 

 

Best time to visit

It's best to visit the Barn Houses during the dry season, which usually starts in late December and last until the latter weeks of May.
