Walking Tour: Chinatown

 

#5

Yue Shan Society Headquarters

33–37 East Pender Street

W.H. Chow, the architect of this building (built in 1920), managed to surmount both the legal and the informal hurdles that prevented most of Vancouver's early Chinese from entering professions. Chow designed several other Chinatown buildings, including Ming's at 141-147 East Pender, which has been extensively altered over the years.
