Henry Christian Jensen, a German immigrant, developed this mixed-use development in 1924. It stood three stories tall, with a band of retail stores, a bowling alley, and a pool hall on the first floor and the upper two floors of 46 apartments.

The bowling alley was removed from the first floor. A large, rooftop sign, reading, "Jensen's Recreations Center," has existed in situ for over 50 years. This neon sign, highlighted by the bowling figure on its top, was renovated in 1997, with money gained from a City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Grant.
