The Mercado Mansion is a heritage house located in Carcar, Cebu, Philippines. It is a two-storey bahay-na-bato painted Mediterranean blue owned by the Mercado clan along Cebu South Road.[1] It was declared a Heritage House by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in 2009.
The house is owned by the Mercado clan, an old political family in Carcar. Don Mariano Mercado, American era mayor of Carcar inherited the house. He is originally from Parian in Cebu City. The first level of the house may have been originally built in the 1880s. The second level of the house was added using hardwood in 1906 based on the design and renovation plan of Don Mariano.
