===Resident Evil: Extinction===
A replica of the original film's Spencer Mansion appears in [[Resident Evil: Extinction]], serving as a battleground for Alice and Dr. Isaacs/the Tyrant.

==Trivia==
* The mansion was completely re-designed for the 2002 Nintendo GameCube remake.

* The location is colloquially referred as the '''Spencer Mansion''', after its original owner, 
[[Ozwell E. Spencer]], co-founder of the Umbrella Corporation. However, the name is completely fanmade, as it has never been used in any of the games. In the novelizations written by [[S.D. Perry]], the location is referred to as the '''Spencer Estate'''.

* In ''[[SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash]]'' for the [[Neo Geo Pocket Color]], the player can find a hidden room which resembles the mansion's hall. There, the player can challenge several zombies and [[Shinji Mikami]] (the creator of the Resident Evil series) to card duels, all of whom are serious contenders.

* In ''[[Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]], several rooms in one of the stages were modelled after the rooms in the Spencer Mansion.

* George Trevor was also hired by another of Umbrella's co-founders, [[List of minor Resident Evil characters#Edward Ashford|Edward Ashford]].  Ashford was impressed with Trevor's work on Spencer Mansion, and wished for a similarly grandiose house, himself.  However, the designs were left incomplete, due to Spencer having Trevor killed.  The partial designs were later used to construct the living areas of the Ashford's Antarctic facility.

* It is odd that some doors were locked in previously visited rooms. Examples being the door leading to the attic where the "Yawn" is located, even after [[List of minor STARS characters in Resident Evil#Richard Aiken|Richard Aiken]] had only retreated from the area moments before the player finds him. The door leading to the "Aqua Ring" is also sealed, despite Richard managing to enter the area after being rescued by [[Chris Redfield]].  The door leading to the balcony where [[List of minor STARS characters in Resident Evil#Forest Speyer|Forest Speyer]] is located is also locked.  It is quite possible that Albert Wesker was using his Master Key to lock and unlock doors to hinder the progress of his colleagues, as he wished to stall them long enough to use them as combat subjects against the Tyrant without actually killing them before gathering the required combat analysis data.

*The game's creators have acknowledged that the remake of Resident Evil has supplanted the original as the [[canon (fiction)|canon]] title.{{Fact|date=March 2007}} However, many hardcore fans still firmly believe that the original release should be considered true, in much the same way as fans have come to view "[[Operation Bacillus Terminate]]" and "Mission Code XX" as debatable plot events.⏎

*The mansion is also the setting of the ''Mansion Incident'', ''Nightmare'' and ''Rebirth'' scenarios in ''[[Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles]]''.
