Cantonese Club BuildingCantonese Club Building is a Local Cultural Property - Local Heritage or Legacy Buildings, Structures or Sites, Iloilo City located at Iloilo City, Iloilo City, Region VI.
The Cantonese Club Building is a 3-storey structure built in 1931. This serves as the cultural center for the minority Cantonese in the predominantly Fukien Chinese community of the city. A fusion of Neoclassical and Art Deco Styles, the building is characterized by four (4) rectangular columns that extends above the rooftop and is adorned with rose-like medallions with hanging tassels in the Art Deco Style. These accentuate what would otherwise be a severe facade. The building is further defined by a series of symmetrically arranged large casement windows capped by tin canopies. Like most shophouse spaces in the downtown areas, the ground floor is arcaded.
