USO Hospitality House. This is a scan of an original postcard purchased from San Jose historian Leonard McKay. Leonard describes it thusly, "The USO Hospitality House was located on the south end of Plaza Park. With volunteer help, it was erected in a single day to serve the servicemen and women who passed through our community during World War II. Many a San Josean met a future spouse here."

The house is gone now. The red giddy-gapper in the background is the cupola of City Hall. Which indicates this photo was taken prior to 1958.
