When originally founded in 1935, the House of Pacific Relations (HPR), a consortium of ‘houses’ now representing 33 cultures, did not include Peru as part of the International Cottages in Balboa Park.
Gladys Novinger founded the House of Peru as a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit organization in 2003 and in 2004 it was officially accepted as an HPR member.
