<strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Gorordo</strong> Marker<br />
The lower floor of the <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Gorordo</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> traditionally served as storage space. It now houses<br />
the offices of the museum, an area for the art exhibitions and a small store. The house is built us<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the massive and tough coral stones, which most century-old establishments are built from. It has a<br />
roof made from tisa clay which weighs around 1 kilogram each piece. The second story has wooden<br />
floors and housed the antique furniture, costumes, books and memorabilia from the past.<br />
Noteworthy is the master’s bedroom that displays the collection of “sayas”. A small room found <strong>in</strong><br />
the residence was used as a chapel whenever Bishop Juan <strong>Gorordo</strong> visits the house. The chapel<br />
displays a “pasyon” manuscript <strong>in</strong> <strong>Cebu</strong>ano.
