This four-story, Victorian-Italianate style, residential/ commercial building was built in 1889 for George Cummings and Maria del Sacramento Lopez, granddaughter of Claudio Lopez who was Mayor of Los Angeles in 1826 under Mexican rule. The building served as a prominent commercial building that became a social and political center and encouraged the residential and commercial development of Boyle Heights. In recent years, the building has housed up to 80 mariachi musicians, who gather at Mariachi Plaza across the street;. It has been purchased by the East Los Angeles Community Corporation for rehabilitation as affordable housing.
