South Pasadena's War Memorial Building, designed by Norman Foote Marsh, has served both as a memorial to veterans and as a meeting place for South Pasadena's American Legion Post No. 140. In 1921, Marshal Ferdinand Foch laid the cornerstone of the building; in 1923, General John J. Pershing planted a redwood tree on the grounds. The building is #2 on South Pasadena's Register of Cultural Heritage Landmarks.
