Hostess Houses Support War Camp Families Across Nation
War era Hostess houses assist visiting relatives at camps from American Lake to Fort Meade. Directors, trained by the Young Women's Christian Association, oversee reception, food, aid, and communications for soldiers' families. Women architects and builders lead design, with capacity for hundreds of guests, and ongoing expansion funded by the War Department and W A C A budgets.
