Regarding Jones & Emmons Building. The property meets the criteria for LAHCM designation because it embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural-type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, as an example of Mid-Century Modern architecture. It is also associated with the notable work of a master builder, designer, or architect, as a work by master architects A. Quincy Jones and Frederick E. Emmons.

The building is currently occupied by the architectural firm of Frederick Fisher, who served as the architect for several renowned cultural landmarks including the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica and the visitor's center of the Sunnylands Estate in Rancho Mirage, California.
