Iloilo Customs House: A Historic Neoclassical Landmark and Maritime Museum

August 18, 2022 No Comments

The Iloilo Customs House, also known as Aduana de Iloílo in Spanish, is a historic building in Iloilo City constructed in 1916 during the American colonial period in the Philippines. Originally referred to as the Iloilo Customhouse, it was built with an initial appropriation of ₱200,000, plus an additional ₱33,000 in 1917. It is the second customs house built by the Americans, following the Cebu Customs House (now Malacañang sa Sugbo), completed in 1910. The planning for the new customs house at the port of Iloilo began in 1913 under the supervision of William E. Parsons, the Consulting Architect at that time. Parsons initially oversaw the project, intending to replace the older Spanish-era customs house situated near the river.
