Stroll around Chinatown and peer into the neighbhourhood’s past through 22 history windows. Large-format historical photographs (which have been stylized and colourized) have been installed in storefront windows throughout Chinatown. Each image is accompanied by a story that describes a piece of Chinatown’s vibrant history. The history windows cover pivotal events, as well as interesting personalities and some of the lesser-known stories that took place in this unique community. A number of the historical images on display have never before been seen by the public.
