According to history, ***Built in 1933, the Calvo Building currently houses a little known museum illustrating Escolta's rich history, located on its 2nd floor. The museum showcases old photographs of Escolta, old newspapers and magazine clippings and detailed scale models of Escolta’s architectural landmarks by UST architecture students of 1996. It also has an impressive Vintage Bottle and advertisements Collection.
The Calvo building was the home to the studios and corporate offices of the Republic Broadcasting System. The first signals of radio station DZBB was sent from a makeshift studio on its 4th floor. That company, seven years after, moved to its current location along EDSA and is now more popularly known as GMA7.
