This view down Marchessault Street in old Chinatown, which is full of two and three story brick buildings, Chop Suey rooftop signs and storefronts, ends abruptly at a construction site. Men holding planks of wood, gather under the steel framework for Union Station, while further framing can be seen in the background. This street was full of oriental trading goods stores including Yee Sing Chong (305 Marchessault Street) in the foreground, as well as four others not visible across the street. Man Jen Low restaurant (309 1/2 Marchessault Street) was eventually relocated to New Chinatown as General Lee's and later Mountain Bar. This entire street was demolished for Union Station.
