Various retail stores are shown in a building named Jensen's Recreation Center located in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles. Henry Christian Jensen built the Jensen Recreation Center in 1924. Jensen was a German immigrant that made his fortune making bricks for the rapidly growing city of early 20th century Los Angeles. Originally, the three-story Jensen Recreation Center had a row of shops, a bowling alley, and a pool hall at street level, and 46 apartments on the top two levels. The recreation center often hosted celebrity athletic events and continued to do so until it closed in the 1970's. The building was declared Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 652 in 1998.
