Quezon Heritage House

The Quezon Heritage House is a museum building with neoclassical design from the 1920s located within the Quezon Memorial Circle grounds. The interior displays original furnishings including narra wood furniture, mirrors, doors, and stained glass windows that reflect how the family lived.

The house served as the residence of President Manuel Quezon and his family from 1927 until 1941, when they fled to Corregidor during World War II. This move marked a turning point in Philippine history as the government evacuated the country.

The house served as a center for humanitarian work, with First Lady Aurora Aragon Quezon using the space to advance the Philippine Red Cross movement. Visitors can see how the family's living quarters reflected their public responsibilities and social standing.

The museum is located within Quezon Memorial Circle grounds and is accessible as part of the park area. Wear comfortable shoes as exploring the house and surrounding gardens involves considerable walking.

The house features separate upstairs bedrooms for Manuel and Aurora Quezon because the President had tuberculosis and required medical isolation. This unusual arrangement offers insight into the personal challenges the family faced.
