About the Great Lakes Naval Station, Building 42, Hostess House [See on Map]
The Hostess House, designed in 1942 by Gordon Bunshaft, is one of the New York architect's earliest works in the United States. The building played a historic role in the training of Naval recruits in World War II and served as a meeting place for tens of thousands of recruits, their families and guests. Once threatened with demolition by the Navy, the Partners in Preservation grant allowed Building 42 to be preserved as an important element of our country's Modern architectural heritage and Naval history.
