In addition to their homes, high-ranking families also owned a cooking house and a treasure house or a spirit house of varying sizes. Treasure houses, unlike the smaller spirit houses, were not dedicated to a particular god. In them offerings for the ancestors were made, women waited to give birth, and men prepared to assume the office of chief (rubak).
Objects of value were also stored in them. Today treasure and spirit houses are rare in Palau.
