BUREAU OF SCIENCE MANILA
Designed in 1901 by American architect Edgar Bourne, this Mission-style Neoclassic building was touted as one of the best equipped laboratory buildings in the world.
During the American Occupation, the building served as a laboratory where minerals, agricultural products, and fauna of the Philippines would be stored and studied.
Like other unfortunate Manila landmarks, the Bureau of Science Building was also destroyed during WWII. The building laid in ruins along with several irreplaceable specimens that were valuable to the scientific community.
The location of the building is now occupied by the U.P. Manila National Institutes of Health.
