Album Info:

(DSC00517) In 1928, Don Vicente Lopez built for his beloved wife, Elena Hofilena, a beau art mansion on two hectares of rice land in Jaro, said to be the original site of the first millionaires’ row in the country. Known as the Nelly Gardens, Dona Elena used to have as many as eight gardeners at a time tending to her orchids, roses, milflores and many other varieties of flowering plants. Inside, a used harp, violin, and piano are displayed in the music room that was later turned into a game room with the addition of the very first billiard table ever installed in the city. In the dining room, the long table can sit as many as 24 guests. The main living room and sitting area could be converted into a ballroom when the furniture were removed to accommodate the orchestra and guests who came in finery that matched the elegant setting. From the mezzanine or palco, older relatives and special guests would sit to watch the dancing below. (Taken from http://www.newsflash.org/2004/02/tl/tl01 2445.htm)
