Misleading Title

This article is referring to a specific hostess house, of which there were many across the United States during World War I. For example, there is a separate article for a later hostess house. Nuancelair (talk) 14:17, 25 October 2019 (UTC) (talk) 14:15, 25 October 2019[reply]

Landmark status

The registration for the site of Hostess House home as a historic resource dates back to April 2, 1976.^[1] A commemorative plaque that designates this site as California Historical Landmark 895 plaque commemorating the Hostess House at 27 University Avenue, Palo Alto, California. The plaque was placed by the California State Parks in cooperation with the city of Palo Alto, on November 11, 1976.^[1]

The inscription on the marker reads:

"This building originally served Camp Fremont as a meeting place for servicemen and visitors. When moved from its original site to Palo Alto, it became the first municipally sponsored community center in the nation. It is the only remaining structure from California’s World War I Army training camps. Designed by Julia Morgan in 1918 for the YMCA, it was dedicated one year later to those who died in this war."^[2]
