Caption: Stilwell Hall: A Fond Memory Marker
Additional Description: Captions: While commanding the 7th Infantry Division in 1940, General Joseph W. Stilwell chose this site for a club where enlisted men could rest and relax – the first of its kind in the U.S. Army (upper left); Opened in 1943, The Soldiers Club became a social hot spot for troops who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam (bottom left); The elegant interior of Stilwell Hall featured Mission Revival styling, murals by Works Progress Administration-funded artists, leather sofas and huge fireplaces (upper right); Doomed by beach erosion that left it dangling at cliff’s edge, Stilwell Hall was demolished in 2003 (lower right).
