House of Pacific Relations International Cottages, San Diego

The International Cottages of the House of Pacific Relations, located in Balboa Park, San Diego, comprise a collection of cottages initially constructed for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition. Presently, these cottages serve as residences for 33 diverse groups dedicated to fostering multicultural goodwill and understanding through educational and cultural initiatives. In cases where a group does not possess its cottage, they convene at the nearby Hall of Nations. Adjacent to the International Cottages, the United Nations Association of San Diego operates independently from the United Nations Building.

In 2021, the House of Pacific Relations International Cottages expanded its facilities by introducing new cottages representing Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Peru, India, Korea, Palestine, Turkey, and the Chamorros, who are the indigenous people of the Mariana Islands.

The park currently showcases 33 distinct cultures through the presence of 32 cottages. Furthermore, the ongoing development in the park aims to construct five additional cottages, representing nine more cultures. Before 1992, a single cottage represented Czechoslovakia, and following its partition, both cultures continue to share the same cottage.
