The Chinatown neighborhood of Los Angeles, California developed in the late 19th century. However, it was demolished to make way for Union Station, so the area had to be re-established. It wasn't until 1938 when the "new" Chinatown commercial district opened. This vintage postcard features the Forbidden Palace restaurant and a souvenir store, with the Wishing Well garden in the foreground. And they all still exist!
This view is from Mei Ling Way looking northeast along Gin Ling Way. The Hong Building is the one at the right with the elaborate roof structure.
