Pacific Commercial Building


Classical Revival architecture, also known as Neoclassical architecture, takes inspiration from classical Greek and Roman architecture intending to produce pure classical designs for modern structures without excessive décor like those of Baroque and Renaissance architecture. 


This style developed in the 1700s and was popular until the 20th century. 


One such example in Binondo is the Pacific Commercial Building, which was built in 1922. The façade features Ionic columns, accompanied by restrained use of ornamentations. 


The building was gutted by fire in 2018 but is currently being restored.
