When in Ivana, House of Dakay is another stop…
Lime technology is not just used in building bridges but on other concreting works as well. Most of it was the stone houses that are still up and standing nowadays.
Just walking distance from the Spanish bridge, we were very lucky to pay a visit to one of the oldest stone house that was built in the 18th century, the House of Dakay.
Inside the house is just plain and simple. You cannot see any room, just a floor, bed and other things. I really appreciate how they have preserved their house despite the advancement of technology nowadays.
The real beauty of the house lies in its history. The fact that until now, it is still livable; no other new and modern constructions can pair this home. Unfortunately, the owner of the house was not there since she was being brought to Manila under the care of her children.
We still thanked the kin who had welcomed us and lets us experience how life was like before with the house.
