Tour of Chung Mei Chinese Home
Architectural historian Jean Witzke will lead a walking tour and Phil Chan, a former ‘Chung Mei boy,’ will give us first-hand insights.
Founded in 1923 and operating in El Cerrito from 1935 to 1954, the Chung Mei Home was said to be the only such orphanage for Chinese boys in the country. The building is beautifully preserved by Windrush School and still has original bas reliefs, carved wood
screens, tiles, murals, circular windows – and an original kitchen!
