The Vega Ancestral House is one of the earliest transition bahay na bato inspired structures in the Philippines, estimated to be around 200 years old. The house is located in Población, Balingsag, Misamis Oriental.
Its sculpted wooden atlases, known as "otí-ot" in the Visayan language, support the second-floor protrusion of the house. The house is a well-known landmark for tourists among the locals. Notable personalities including Emilio Aguinaldo and Sergio Osmeña are known to have stayed in the house.
