Title:
Aerial View of Manila Showing the University of the Philippines and other Important Landmarks, 1939
Date Created:
12/10/1939
Description:
In this aerial view of Manila, one can see the University Hall (now DOJ), the University Library (now the Supreme Court Building along Padre Faura Street), and the Rizal Hall. Between the Rizal Hall and the Villamor Hall (now the Supreme Court Building along Taft Avenue) at the farthest right was the original UP Oblation surrounded by plants, the area now shared by CAS and the Supreme Court. One can also see Taft Avenue, the road on the right, and Calle Padre Faura, the street between UP and Ateneo de Manila (lower left, where the dome of the Astronomical Observatory was located). Incidentally, Jesuit priest Federico Faura, for whom the street was named, was the founder of the Manila Observatory.
