Lazatin House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lazatin House is a heritage house in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga. Built in 1925 by the couple Serafin Lazatin y Ocampo, sugar farmer and former president of SFELAPCO, and Encarnacion Singian y Torres. It was appropriated by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War to Serve as a residence of the 14th Army Commander of the Japanese Imperial Army, General Masaharu Homma, in San Fernando, Pampanga. This ancestral house, which exemplifies the architecture prevalent during the American colonial period was declared a Heritage House by the National Historical Institute on 27 January 2003 by virtue of Resolution No. 6, S. 2003. Presently, it is owned still by the surviving Lazatins who have migrated to Bacolod, from San Fernando.
