Ammon Hennacy stated that the two rules of the Joe Hill House were "No drinking and no cops.".
[2] One of the prominent features of the Joe Hill House was an enormous twelve feet by fifteen foot mural of IWW songwriter Joe Hill and Jesus Christ, painted by Mary Lathrop.
American radical folk singer Utah Phillips worked at the Joe Hill House for eight years where he was introduced by Ammon Hennacy to Christian pacifism and Christian anarchism.
The Joe Hill House of Hospitality was rebuilt by Hal Noakes and John Chanonat, editor of the Utah Free Press who was deported in 1970.
Just before the death of Ammon Hennacy, it was closed by the Utah Migrant Council.
