Photos by my father, Fueng Wah Wong






Like these photos taken by my father in Taishan in 1947? There is more. I am currently soliciting donations for a $3,000 film scanner.

i like old graphics like this

1889 San Francisco Chinatown- Chinese Theater

The Great Star Theatre on Jackson Street. Dai Ming Sing

1889 San Francisco Chinatown-Restaurant:Stores

my guess is the corner of waverly and clay street

San Francisco Chinatown circa 1950

This is the 60th block of Grant Avenue. Our store is two stores up from the Chop Suey sign. It would be too years later that I was born. I lived and grew up in that store all the way till I was seventeen.

Club Shanghai, Chinatown, San Francisco 1946

looks like back in the days of the forbidden city there were more than just one night club. I remember on the corner of Pine and Grant was the Skyroom. I guess this one is just down the block.
