Statement of Significance
The building was erected as the Wing Ching Restaurant in 1891. It appears that the upper floors were used for warehouse space with the gantry protruding from the top floor doorway. The cafe was known as the Quon Che On from 1900 to 1915 and since then until recently was known as the Chung Wah. This cafe was probably the first frequented by Westerners in Chinatown in the 1920's. The building is of unusual proportions being on a narrow site and of fine plain red brickwork. It is an important visual landmark in Chinatown and an essential part of its character.
