In the early 1900s Pittsburgh’s Chinatown was thriving. With more than 20 restaurants, bakeries, import shops, and food markets, it was a lively center for commerce.  Its temple, social halls, and merchant societies formed a welcoming home base for Pittsburgh’s 500 Chinese residents.

Today just one restaurant remains. This story reveals why, how, and when Chinatown vanished from the Pittsburgh landscape.
