Old Stone Market

The market was still under construction when this photo was taken!  Early 1900's. Remember the eagle carving at the middle front-top, at the arch?  In WWII, German nationals were rounded up and became prisoners of war and somehow were taken to Baguio to make escape a more difficult one.  To engage their incarceration time, the  Americans  were made to work: one of their products was the eagle. When the market burned down, the eagle was placed in storage somewhere and then forgotten, until one worker found it stored in a men's room somewhere!  This sounds like material for a good Baguio short story.
