Friendship House vs. Friendly House

The description of this photo related to Friendship House directs people to an article about Friendly House. These are completely different organizations. Friendship House had established several locations nationwide including Portland.

My father worked for a short time at the Portland Friendship House and then at the Chicago Friendship House which is how I know a little about it's history. Here's a link to a Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_House

Thank you for the information
