El Pueblo de Los Angeles

Doria Deighton Jones was the widow of wealthy industrial John Jones who died in 1876. The Jones family formerly lived in a large adobe home which was torn down in 1886 when Bath Street was widened and made an extension of Main Street. Doria had at first planned to build a hotel on the three lots where the adobe stood, but instead, because the area was changing from residential to industrial usage, she constructed a flat-roofed one-story building divided into five separate machine shops.

One unit of the Jones Building was originally used as a cigar store and shooting gallery, while the rest of the building housed machine shops, plumbing and tin shops, harness and leather shops, and blacksmith shops. After Olvera Street became a Mexican market place in 1930, the front entrances of the Jones Building were reversed so that they opened on Olvera Street.
