Built in 1914, the structure's design has been described as an example of an “American Colonial Era” bahay na bato. It was owned by Mr. Rosito Z. Bacarro, who also owned the Bacarro Printing Press. During World War II, the house functioned as a printing press for emergency banknotes when Mr. Bacarro was tasked by the provincial governor of Misamis Occidental and the Misamis Occidental Currency Committee to produce the much-needed banknotes for the Philippine Commonwealth Government during the Japanese occupation. Today, the house is celebrated as a historical and cultural landmark in Jimenez, attracting visitors interested in its rich history and architectural charm.
