The Mansion, Official summer residence in Baguio, Philippines
The Mansion stands at an elevation of 5,000 feet in the Cordillera Central Range, featuring Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with an ornate front gate.
William E. Parsons designed The Mansion in 1908 as a summer residence for American Governor-General James Francis Smith during the colonial administration period.
The residence contains a museum displaying presidential memorabilia, reflecting the political and administrative heritage of the Philippine government through different eras.
Visitors can access the compound and gardens when the president is not in residence, with public transportation available from Session Road for around 60 pesos.
The Second Philippine Legislature conducted its sessions at The Mansion for three weeks in 1910, marking a significant period in Philippine governance.
