== Foundation ==
The House of Pacific Relations (HPR), a 501(c)(3) public benefit organization founded in 1936 and co-sponsored by the City of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation, today encompasses 32 houses representing 32 countries which each offer visitors a window to their culture, history and traditions. Initially, 16 international houses were founded in 1935, namely the House of France, for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition. Today the houses occupy the historic 1935 Exposition cottages plus 4 new cottages, provided by the City of San Diego in Balboa Park,〔Morales, p. 3.〕 which was constructed for the Panama-California Exposition in 1915 and enlarged for the California-Pacific International Exposition in 1935. The Balboa Park, a cultural urban park in San Diego, one of the oldest in the United States, includes some of the finest Spanish-Baroque Revival structures in America and it is on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
Initially, the House of France was a place where French War brides gathered after World War II and speak French while adjusting to their new American life. Today, the House of France endeavors to maintain and enhance the spirit of understanding, tolerance and goodwill, among its members and with the national entities residing in the city and county of San Diego, by representing the history, traditions and culture of France to the attention of schools, cultural groups and private individuals.
