E. C. Kropp Company, Milwaukee, WI

The House of Hospitality, on the left, was originally designed by architect Carleton M. Winslow (1910-1946), and constructed for the Panama-California International Exposition of 1915-1916 as the Foreign Arts Building (also known as the Foreign Liberal Arts Building). It was demolished and rebuilt in the same Spanish-Renaissance style, and later used as the Balboa Park Visitors Center. The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars Building (sometimes known as the War Memorial Building) on the right was originally designed as the "Electricity Building" for the 1915 Exposition, but had become the Home Economy Building by opening. It was also known as the Pan-Pacfic Building and was known as the Cafe of the World during the California Pacific International Exposition of 1935. This building was demolished in 1963 to make way for the Timken Museum that opened in 1965.
