History
Built of wood, galvanized iron, and sawali, Casa Vallejo was first referred to as Dormitory 4. It was constructed by the Americans to house construction workers who helped build Baguio City.[3]
In 1923, the dormitory was leased to Salvador Vallejo who transformed the dormitory into a hotel named after him.
