Toves House, on Marine Dr. in the Anigua district of Hagåtña, Guam, was built in 1950, built mostly with ifil hardwood. It was a work of Pedro T. Toves in Pacific Spanish-Colonial vernacular architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[1]^[2]

It was deemed significant for its architecture, as providing continuity to past usage of Pacific Spanish colonial design. Design-wise, it picked up where World War II's devastation of Guam had stopped evolution of the style. Unfortunately, is one of few surviving post-war examples, due to loss of the native ifil forests in World War II and other factors. Other post-war structures built of softwood have been destroyed by typhoons and termites.^[2]
