Bob Hope Patriotic Hall

Museum
In Los Angeles, California
2.4 mi from Route 66

Bob Hope Patriotic Hall rises 10 stories in Los Angeles, CA, about 2.4 miles off the old road. Los Angeles County dedicated it in 1925 to serve veterans, and it still houses the county department that serves military members and veterans. In 2004 it was renamed for entertainer Bob Hope. For travelers with a military connection, it is a meaningful stop near the end of the road.

What is Bob Hope Patriotic Hall?

The hall is a tall county-owned building that has served veterans for a century. Today the county's veterans affairs department works from here, so it is a working government building as well as a historic one.

History of Bob Hope Patriotic Hall

The county Board of Supervisors dedicated the building as Patriotic Hall in 1925. It was meant for veterans of the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War and World War I, and it also supported the Union veterans' group Grand Army of the Republic. On November 12, 2004, it was rededicated in honor of Bob Hope, whose name it now carries.
