Calle P. Burgos Looking Toward the Legislative Building, Manila, Philippine Islands
This period postcard looks down Calle P. Burgos toward the Philippine Legislative Building, a Neoclassical landmark of American colonial Manila. Wide, tree-lined boulevards like this one reflected the ambitious urban planning brought to the city in the early 20th century, shaping Manila's civic core before wartime destruction altered much of the cityscape.
