Historical Landmark for the Philippine Commission First Sessions in Baguio

Not many people are aware of it but this historical marker erected beside the parking lot of the Baden Powell Hotel along Gov. Pack Road marks a very important site in Baguio City's history. It was here that the Philippine Commission held its first sessions in Baguio for a couple of months in 1904.

Here's what the historical marker says:
