House of Pacific Relations International Cottages

The House of Pacific Relations International Cottages is a complex of cottages in San Diego's Balboa Park, in the U.S. state of California. Built for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, they currently house 33 groups that "promote multicultural goodwill and understanding through educational and cultural programs".[1] Groups that do not have their own cottage meet in the nearby Hall of Nations.[2] The United Nations Association of San Diego operates separately out of the neighboring United Nations Building.[3] All of the houses are of countries in Europe, save for six. They are Iran, Israel, Puerto Rico, the United States of America, China, and the Philippines. Some of the houses, including Norway and Hungary, serve sweet food from the nation the house is tied to.
