Yee Bong Cafe

Leon Rockwell Photograph Collection

A look at Carson City's Chinatown in its declining years. It was centered around 3rd Street, between Stewart and Valley. In the 1920s and 30s Chinatown was run-down and strewn with weeds, and most residents had moved out. The Yee Bong Cafe, seen here, was on the northwest corner of 3rd and Valley. The whole neighborhood was razed in the 1940s.
