According to the Manila Nostalgia (Facebook Group) this Villaroman Mansion is owned by Dr. Francisco Villaroman, and according to great grandson of  Dr. Francisco Villaroman, Mr.Gilbert Villaroman, "This was not Eugenio Lopez, Sr.'s home. This was our ancestral home which was built by my late (great?) grandfather Dr. Francisco Villaroman, Sr. The left side faces Roxas Blvd. Our property wall used to be where the Manila Bay was until the reclamation project which created the road which is now Roxas Blvd... There was [an elevator] on the property and it was placed to assist my grandfather who in his later years had difficulty walking due to a stroke."

  3. I am so happy when saw it on tv and newspaper the restoration of the mansion..Years back, everytime i go to Baclaran and pass this mansion i keep asking myself..kanino kaya tong bahay na to? San na kaya yong may ari.Sayang parang wala na nakatira.Ang lungkot ng environment.. i wish i could enter the property if it will be open to the public.
