Additional Details:
The largest Chinese settlement in the United States is in San Francisco. The community vies with China itself in life, color and glamor. Chinatown is a bit of Oriental life transplanted to America. The interiors and structural portions of the buildings are modernized American, but exteriors still retain their splendor of balconies, balustrades and pagoda-like roofs, so typical of Chinese architecture.
