Designed by American Architect Ralph Harrington Doanne, the capitol building is an outstanding example of a Neo Classic Architecture in the American Colonial Period. The capitol building is constructed from April 1917- December 1918 during the term of Governor Daniel marimba. This building sustained heavy damage during the Pacific War and rebuilt in 1949, it is also declared as one of the eight (8) Architectural Treasures of the Philippines by the National Commission for Culture and Arts and Filipino Heritage Festival Inc.
The capitol building underwent general restoration from August 2007- December 2008 under the term of Governor Amado T. Espino Jr. Now a new touch of elegance inside the Pangasinan provincial capitol is all you can see. The once drab interior of the sprawling pre-World War II structure is now a glowing display of both classical and modern art and beauty. This building also rank as one of the World’s First Class Capitol Building in the entire Philippines. The interior of the building is made out of Narra, Camagong , and Mahogany Tree. A classy wooden look is what you can see inside. But not just good architecture, coz your eyes will get dazzled upon going up the building itself, a beautiful and elegant chandelier will surprise you as well. Now Capitol is now a part of educational and historical package in the Province.
