You don’t say the H because it “Francofied”. In the south we say mansion like the French word pronounced ma-son. The idea is that French words drop the H sound to pulled the hard gender identifier into the word. See this example. L’opital. La and Hospital. Our English is highly influenced by by French. A room in a house where you speak is a Parlour, see Fr verb to speak.
