Ferguson Tower

I have always liked this building along M.H. del Pilar, Ermita. It has the elegance of a sentinel positioned in front of the Ermita church observing the shanties across the street. The park beside is no longer called Plaza Ferguson (which is why the building is named Ferguson Tower) but Nuestra Señora de Guia after the patron of the Ermita church across the plaza. Down the road, high rise buildings sprout and more are under construction and in time, will cast a cutting remark against the humble edifices that used to be Ermita’s glory.
