🕵️‍♀️ History Mystery: The Friendly House

We know The Friendly House operated at the Laguna Art Center and was run by Margaret Blair Jackson. We know it welcomed guests with “delicious foods” and a flowery path.

What we don’t know is exactly when it opened or closed. Do you remember The Friendly House?
Have photographs, menus, stories, or family memories? Share them with us, keep history alive.
