Did you know?
In the early 1930s, FEU was housed in a converted old The Orient Tobaccos Manufactory Company (La Oriente Fabrica de Tabacos y Compania) (the boundary of Quiapo and Sampaloc district lots) already present on the four-hectare (nearly 10 acres) through property lot owned by Sulucan Hill subdivision. Due to the widening of the street that became Quezon Blvd., the original building designed and built by Architect Pablo Antonio Sr. (National Artist for Architecture) was demolished and had to be rebuilt on a bigger scale on what is the present campus of FEU. During World War II, the campus was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army, who left only its shell unharmed.
