Heritage siteADVERTISEMENTOfficials of the state-owned Clark Development Corp. (CDC) said they would ask the National Historical Commission of the Philippines to declare the barn houses and other structures in the district as part of the country’s heritage sites. According to Rosmer, the barn house marked as Building 2080 used to be the post commander’s residence before World War II. Four other barn homes serve as a day care center, a gymnasium and as CDC public affairs office. “Taken as a whole, these buildings serve as one of the best preserved examples of US military tropical construction,” Rosmer pointed out.
