Abstract
  • In a mostly abandoned block, capped by concrete, the building at 210 East 1st Street, The Dalles, Oregon still stands as one of three remaining structures. This building housed the Wing Hong Hai Company, a mercantile store and Chinese laundry, from 1889 to 1926. Beneath the modern concrete that encircles the building remains part of the rich history of the former occupants of The Dalles Chinatown. Eric Gleason and Jacquie Cheng, owners of 210 East 1st Street, set about restoring the Wing Hong Hai Company building and with it, the memory of a Chinatown long forgotten. This thesis will describe the artifacts recovered excavations, provides a functional context for those artifacts, and evaluates them in the broader historical context of the region. It will also examine the functions of the Wing Hong Hai Company and what role it played within the larger societal context of The Dalles Chinatown.
