Balay Negrense

Built in 1897, the Balay Negrense (Negrense House) is the restored residence of Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston.

Yves Leopold Germain Gaston was the patriarch of a large family with roots in the City of Silay, in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines. He was originally from Lisieux, France, but settled in the Philippines, where he engaged in the production of sugar cane, the primary product of the province and became a sugar baron.
