In 1919, Governor General Francis B. Harrison slept in the house as a guest of Sen. Vicente Ilustre, son-in-law of Doña Gliceria, to inaugurate the electric plant in Taal.

In January 1892, upon the visit of Juan and Antonio Luna to raise funds for the Propaganda Movement, the couple donated P18,000.

The death of her husband led Doña Gliceria to become a nationalist to the extent of holding clandestine meetings in the house with revolutionary leaders of Batangas.

The original painted canvas ceilings of the formal rooms upstairs were removed and replaced with stamped tin imported from the United States.

The walls of the caida and the sala we re-stretchered with new canvass and painted with Art Nouveau motifs by Emilio Alvero.

When the monument of Doña Gliceria Marella de Villavicencio was erected by the National Historical Institute, the garden was raised to street level and the fountain was buried under landfill.

The house is owned and managed by Edgardo's son, Ernesto Villavicencio with his wife Maria Rosario Benedicto.

From the meseta, a flight of balayong stairs led to the wide caida with its panoramic view of Balayan Bay.
