Price Mansion, Colonial mansion in Tacloban, Philippines.
Price Mansion is a colonial-era building in Tacloban with twelve separate rooms across multiple floors and a grand staircase rising to the upper residential areas. The structure houses a MacArthur exhibit and serves as a space for events and community gatherings.
Walter Scott Price, an American engineer from Philadelphia, built this residence in 1910 after establishing several businesses in Tacloban. The structure survived World War Two, though it sustained damage during bombing raids.
The mansion blends American colonial style with Filipino residential traditions of the early 1900s. You can see this mix in how the rooms are arranged and how the building is designed to suit both cultures.
Visit in early morning or late afternoon when light better shows the building's architectural details. The location is accessible on foot and easy to reach from central Tacloban.
A Japanese bomb strike in 1944 left a hole in the roof above General MacArthur's quarters, which remains visible today. This detail marks the dramatic wartime events that the building endured.
