A Spanish-era bahay na bato last inhabited by a scion of the Fule family known for her devotion to the education sector. In the 1930s, she donated the house and the adjoining plot to build a high school that now bears her name. The house was at times used as a school building before falling into neglect and becoming inhabited by squatters claiming to be Doña Prudencia's heirs. Following a legal battle to remove aforementioned squatters, the house was restored in 2019 and now contains a school museum. On the other side of the highway, at the elementary school also named after Prudencia, is one of the few Gabaldon school bungalows in the Philippines that dates back to the American period.
To avoid confusion with the Fule-Malvar Mansion, Prudencia is located outside downtown, on the highway running between the city and Alaminos, and is painted in strips of ocean-green and white with a red roof.

White House
A prominent landmark, the mansion was built in 1915 in the beaux-arts and Art Nouveau style that was typical of the American period for the first city mayor of San Pablo, Potenciano Malvar, and his wife, Eusebia Fule, both of which came from prominent families. Visiting presidents and dignitaries were often hosted here. Since then the house has changed ownership multiple times and as of 2025 is being used as a civic center by the city government.
