The old Adamson University
Here some of the answer got from google.
What history behind the Adamson Univesity? According to the blog site of Adamson University; The Institution was founded in 1932 by George Lucas Adamson, a Greek national in the Philippines, as a School of Industrial Chemistry and Engineering. It was the first such school in the Philippines. The three Adamsons administered the school themselves: George Lucas was President, Alexander was Vice-President, treasurer and registrar, and George Athos was Dean of the College of Engineering. The first school building was located at San Miguel, then transferred to Intramuros, and during the war, to the E-building of Meralco.
Before finally settling on its permanent home along San Marcelino Street in 1946 after the war, the school had three different locations: Sta. Cruz (1932–1933), San Miguel (1933–1939) and Intramuros (1939–1941). In San Marcelino, the university expanded with the acquisition of the Meralco building in 1968 and the St. Theresa's College-Manila campus in 1977, both adjacent.
And here the now of Adamson University - Intramuros.

DeleteECJ means Eduardo Cojuangco Jr. so now you know who owns the building. Please correct the caption of second from top photo. The Ateneo site and the Adamson site are two different locations, but they stand next to each other. The Augustinian Provincial House originally stood at the site of Adamson.
ReplyDeletethanks for that info!!
Deletebeautiful many windows of opportunity :-) Dropping by from last weeks Wednesday Windows.
ReplyDeleteThe exterior of the ECJ Building is patterned after the Augustinian Provincial House, which was destroyed by the fire of 1932. The design of the Adamson building is different. All the structures of Intramuros were destroyed by bombs during WWII including Adamson except for the San Agustin Church. So this is not a centuries-old building. ECJ was built to look like the Provincial House as an effort to bring back the nostalgic feeling of Intramuros. ECJ bldg. has no connection with Adamson University. It is an office building.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer that they use slilding windows as the original design was. This is my disappointment with such new buidlings being reconstructed in Intramuros. Barely can you see buildings with sliding windows made of capiz shells which were the in-thing of Spanish colonial architecture in the Philippines
