| One sheet
of a set of plans sent by Governor Tajonera in 1849 to Central Government
in Manila in support of his request to organize Bucay's Casa Real
in the Officers' Quarters within the fort complex.
A budget accompanying the plans
was approved and the work was actually done by a carpenter from Tayum,
at the time Cabeza de Barangay (village head) in Caoayan, Ilocos
Sur who was paid, per his affidavit, the full amount approved in the budget.
He also built the first convento (parochial home and office) in
Bucay, a two-story affair in wood, bamboo and cogon. |
