Kwong Hing Lung buys 10 Mott Street in Chinatown's first documented property purchases
In 1883 Chinese buyers made the first documented real estate purchases on lower Mott Street. Grocer Wo Kee bought 8 Mott, Tom Lee bought 16 Mott, and Kwong Hing Lung bought 10 Mott, an earlier building on this lot, while Man Lee took 12 Mott. The nomination notes the deals came not long after Irish owners tied to Transfiguration Church rented a row of townhouses to keep Chinese residents out.
