This building is located along Claro M. Recto Avenue in Manila. This became the main terminal of the Luzon Railways date back to the Spanish period. Old houses and sturctures in this area, including the house of Andres Bonifacio were demolished to give way to the construction of this terminal in 1870s. Today, some of the original bricks that were used in the original terminal are still there, highlighting some vintage equipments that were being used during the colonial period.
