The Los Angeles Times indicated that the Crescent Heights Methodist Episcopal Church complex would be located at Fairfax Street and Fountain Avenue.

Reverend Floyd J. Seaman announced plans in 1923 for a new church for the Crescent Heights Methodist Episcopal congregation on the same site as the old one. The site was to contain three building: a church seating 1,000, an assembly hall accommodating a stage, gymnasium, locker rooms, kitchen, dining hall and four offices, and a Sunday school building. The assembly building was set to be built on the lot first, next to the first Crescent Heights Methodist Episcopal Church. The Sunday School building was to be erected next, and once the two other buildings were completed, the old church was to be demolished and the new one built.

Architect Pierce designed the three buildings in the Spanish Colonial Revival Style.
