The San Francisco Guide says of the Community Center:

The COMMUNITY CENTER, Melville Ave. and Middlefield Rd., consists of a group of buildings in Spanish Colonial style admirably placed about three sides of a brick paved court and surrounded by spendidOoaks and broad lawns. The buildings were gift of Mrs. Louis Stern. The Center’s activities are supported partly by the city and partly by the organizations using the center. The Palo Alto Community Players give performances in the theater, the central building in the group. Here also a separate children’s theater, a children’s museum, Boy Scouts Hall, a ballroom, a reception room, and a dining room and kitchen, all designed to foster Palo Alto community spirit.
