 This was the Jones homestead until about 1900, when a beautiful residence was erected at the corner of Adams Street and Maple Avenue.... [The former building] eventually was turned into a cafe known as the Belmont, which was considered quite "the tony place" for Los Angeles epicures for a great many years.The family's next house was at 258 East Adams Street in today's Historic South Central area, and in 1909 the "Los Angeles Times" noted that "its beautiful gardens and architectural beauty ... mark it as one of the fine dwellings of the city."
