The research on Santo Domingo through its architectural appropriation and consumption after its completion contributes in part to the study on the evolution of the architecture of Dominican churches and ecclesiastical facilities after the war. Before the devastation who foresaw what could happen placed the image of our Lady of the Holy Rosary of La Naval in a vault, which saved it from destruction. Eventually it was transferred to the chapel of the University of Santo Tomas until its transfer to Quezon City on the Octobe r10, 1954. The cornerstone - laying of the new church and convent were blessed in 1950 by the Bishop of Batanes, Msgr. Peregrin de la Fuente, and the construction took four years to complete. These were the beginnings of the Church and convent of Santo Domingo in Quezon City. Today much has been added, including the Angelicum College and the Columbarium at the right side of the church. The church and convent were designed by National artist Jose mAria V. Zaragosa in spanish modern style using reinforced concrete. Some would label his work as International style but the presence of relief ornamentations in the portals would fail to fulfill the ideals of the style, which veered from the use of ornaments.
