The building had been built as the store and home of Jiovani Batiste Leandre (also spelled Leandri and Leandry), and was later owned by his widow, Francisca Uribe and her husband Francisco O'Campo. The patio became known as O'Campo's Plaza (also spelled Ocampo's Plaza), where cockfighting occurred. The buildings were later demolished and the property became the site of the first Los Angeles firehouse.
