ArchivesMain MenuIntroductionThe greater Los Angeles area is on the traditional lands of the Gabrielino/Tongva, Chumash, Fernandeño Tataviam and Yuhaaviatam/Maarenga’yam (Serrano) peoples. We acknowledge their presence here since time immemorial and recognize their continuing connection to the land, to the water and to their ancestors.L.A.

The decorations suggest that this photo was likely captured during Lunar New Year festivities. The store sold merchandise to the Chinese community and provided community services such as letter writing, postal, and banking. The State of California forced the store to close in 1948 to construct the 101 Freeway. The store was re-created by the Chinese American Museum in 2003.2020-09-30T15:38:52-07:003/16/05Chinese American MuseumIn Copyright34.0556172,-118.2392695Chinese American Museum, Courtesy of Billy and Anna LewLos Angeles, Calif.UnknownCurtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e
