Grand Dining Room of the Chinese Restaurant, Washington Street, San Francisco (B 5398)
Publication: San Francisco: Taber Photo. (ca. 1890).
Notes: Albumen photograph, 4-7/8 by 8 inches, of a large Chinese restaurant in San Francisco before the earthquake, probably the restaurant at 824-826-828 Washington Street. The restaurant may have been called Chun Sun; a restaurant with that name operated at 826 Washington Street in 1892, according to a San Francisco Examiner newspaper notice about a small fire there (14 July).
This view is captioned in the image in a narrow strip along the bottom of the print. This image is not included in Taber's ca. 1889 list of images available at his gallery and thus likely dates from the early 1890s.
Edition + Condition: A fine example on a slightly larger modern cardstock mount.
