The “Balay Negrense” for example is one of the few ancestral houses situated along the streets of Cinco De Noviembre. 

The house was built in the 1890s and completed in 1901, commissioned by Victor Fernandez Gaston who was a sugar magnate in the 19th century. Balay Negrense is one of the several Heritage Houses recognized by the National Historical Institute in Negros Occidental. 

The house was neglected and abandoned after the death of its owner until it was restored by the Negros Cultural Foundation with the cooperation of the surviving heirs. 

It was now transformed into a museum which gives its guests a glimpse to the lifestyle of the wealthy and the affluent of the Spanish colonial era.
