Manila Army and Navy Club
The Manila Army and Navy Club founded in 1898 was the first American social club to be established in the Philippines for the exclusive use of the U.S. military personnel and civilians, and later Filipinos.〔 〕 Since the time it was established, it was one of the center of Manila's social life. It was the site of many important events in Philippine-American relations.
==The Building==
The building was designed by William E. Parsons〔 and has his characteristic trademark of the generous use of arches. It was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
In his book, McCallus described the current state of the Army and Navy Club as:〔
a dignified white structure, nearly hidden by beautiful palms and acacia trees, and guarded by a well-carved wrought iron fence. The original was a spacious H-shaped affair (...). The club has a reputation of being among the best of its type in the world with excellent food, a superb staff, and a swimming pool. It also boasted a bowling alley, tennis and squash courts, and a huge officer's bar.
