View of the beautiful Tuscan Terrace and rooftop garden, which is located on the upper floors the Jonathan Club. A semi-circular stairway leading from the thirteenth floor down to the terrace is visible along the right. This charming rooftop garden and terrace is available for the use of club members and their family and friends, as well as for private events. "Jazz on the Roof" is a popular summer evening event, which has been held here in more recent times.The Jonathan Club, consistently rated as one of the most prestigious social clubs in the United States, is said to have been founded in September 1895 by a group of men who had been active in a Los Angeles marching society. In 1905 the club was headquartered in the Pacific Electric Building at 610 S. Main Street - at the time, the transportation hub for Southern California. The top three floors of that building housed the Jonathan Club, which was one of the city's most exclusive private clubs even back then.
