- Q18152473 abstract "Hall of the Amigos del País was located in Los Angeles, California, US. Erected in 1844, it was the first social hall or club house ever built on the North American Pacific Coast. It was the hall of the Sociedad Económica de los Amigos del País (Friends of the Country), a society or club made up of the leading citizens of the town, both native and foreign born, who, during the 1840s, formed a group with the dual purposes of providing pensions and stimulating the reading of literature.A lot, 100 varas square, free of taxes, was granted the society by the Ayuntamiento. An adobe building was erected and fitted up with a dancing hall, reading room and card tables. The hall was dedicated by a grand ball and a number of social entertainments were held. The Amigos for a time enjoyed their social privileges, and the society flourished. But it was a time of revolutions and political disturbances. In time social amenities gave place to political animosities. Although the members were "Friends of the Country," they became enemies to one another. The society ran in debt. Its membership fell off. The building was finally put up at a lottery. Andrés Pico drew the lucky number. The Amigos del Pais disbanded during the Mexican–American War. Their hall in the course of time became a saloon and afterwards it was "Los dos Amigos," ("the two friends") —the friend behind the bar and the one in front of it. The McDonald Block, on North Main Street, was later built on the site of the Amigos’ hall.".
