Scope and content
Wicker furniture and a stuffed sofa comfortably grouped around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace were located in Camp Lewis' Hostess House in 1920. The sitting room pictured above was decorated with garlands and other greenery which made the place more welcoming and less sterile. The YWCA had provided a hostess house with writing desks and entertainment. Built with stately pillars, the Hostess House would become the center of camp activities for soldiers and their guests.
