| History | Jane Jacobs House (Formerly George Umehara House) houses 13 members, 3 washrooms and 3 kitchens. George (aka King) Umehara was an early Co-op member, former General Manager, and founder of King Entertainment. During the 30 years in which he was a Co-op member, George Umehara founded and led Co-op’s Alumni Association. He left a substantial amount of money to Co-op when he died in 1969. CCRI purchased Jane Jacobs House with these funds in 1969. |
