Puruganan Ancestral HousePuruganan Ancestral House is a Registered Property, Municipality of Dingras, Ilocos Norte located at Dingras, Ilocos Norte, Region I.
One of the towns oldest residence house. Its exteriors bear the design of a residence typical of the period: segmented arches with marked keystones, ground floor walls terminating in a prominent cornice, a wooden second floor with ventanillas protected by turned wood baluster, paired capiz windows and wide awnings. A delightful detail which appears in the corners of the second floor is a single baluster, big in proportion, which seems to carry the window still, or pasamano.
Started as a vicariate of Batac, was elevated to a parish by the Augustinians and dedicated to St. Joseph as patron. Father Bartolome Conrado became its first parish priest in 1598. It was changed back to a vicariate in 1605.
