A curved section of a racetrack with red and white striped curbs, tire marks on the asphalt, and protective barriers along the side. The surrounding areas are sandy and grassy.

Quiapo: Martelino House

MARTELINO HOUSE, QUIAPO, MANILA

From Lugares Historicos en Filipinas -
"The Martelino House is located on a corner lot, sharing the block with the Padilla and Zamora Houses. The name “Martelino” is believed to have originated from records at Ateneo, which mention the property.

The house is often featured in historical photographs of Hidalgo Street, showcasing its role in the iconic lineup of grand mansions that the street is famous for. In the 1960s, parts of the house were repurposed into a billiard hall and bowling alley, catering primarily to nearby students. Local folklore also suggests that the legendary pool player Efren “Bata” Reyes honed his skills at this venue during his youth."

I took this photo during the Quiapo Heritage Walk of Renacimiento Manila last January.
