        Notice of Intention to Designate a Provincial Historic Resource

                            (Historical Resources Act)
                                                                       File: Des. 1271

Notice is hereby given that no less than sixty days from the date of service of this
Notice and its publication in the Alberta Gazette, the Minister of Culture and Tourism
intends to make an Order that the site known as the:

Bow On Tong Co. Building, together with the land legally described as:

Plan 4353S
Block 19
Lots 8 and 9
Excepting thereout all mines and minerals

and municipally located in Lethbridge, Alberta

be designated as a Provincial Historic Resource under Section 20 of the Historical
Resources Act, RSA 2000 cH-9.

The reasons for the designation are as follows: The heritage value of the Bow On
Tong Co. Building rests in its reflection of Chinese immigration and settlement in
early twentieth-century southern Alberta. It is further significant through its

                                       - 198 -

association with the historic role played by the merchant class in Chinese-Albertan
communities. Finally, the building is significant for its reflection of early twentieth-
century Chinese-Albertan domestic life through its long association with the Leong
family.

Built in 1919, the Bow On Tong Co. Building is significant for its association with
Chinese immigration and settlement in early twentieth-century southern Alberta. The
building originally opened as the Tai Sing Co. store and from the outset it doubled as
a lodging house for newly-arrived Chinese immigrants, illustrating the significant role
played by merchants who provided accommodation in Chinese-Albertan
communities. The Bow On Tong Co. Building is one of several historic Chinese
structures located on the south side of Second Avenue South, and the building’s
original spatial context is strongly conveyed by the exceptional historical integrity of
the overall streetscape. The structure’s historic use as a store is manifest in its form
and massing – typical of early twentieth-century commercial blocks in Lethbridge –
as well as its prominent signage, wooden storefront, large display and clerestory
windows, and original wooden cabinets with Chinese lettering lining the south and
west walls (in continuous use since the late 1920s). As a highly intact example of a
Chinese commercial building, the Bow On Tong Co. store strongly reflects the history
of Chinese-Albertan urban settlement and contributes greatly to the overall integrity
of one of the province’s oldest distinct Chinese neighbourhoods.

The Bow On Tong Co. Building is additionally significant for its association with the
historic roles of the Chinese merchant class in Alberta as exemplified by Way Leong,
who purchased the building in 1926. Merchants occupied a prominent place in the
social structure of Chinese-Albertan communities. In addition to their economic role
as entrepreneurs, merchants exercised considerable influence as associational leaders,
community spokesmen and cultural brokers. Way Leong is strongly representative of
this social class and as a result, the Bow On Tong Co. Building reflects the personal
and professional activities that characterized this unique and important group. First
and foremost, the Bow On Tong Co. store was a substantial and enduring commercial
enterprise that operated continuously as an apothecary and Chinese goods importer
under the ownership of the Leong family for over ninety years. It was the commercial
anchor of Lethbridge’s Chinatown and stands as an important reminder of the larger
contribution of Chinese merchants to Alberta’s economic growth and development.
The building was also an important site of associational activity, hosting meetings of
the Leong clan association (of which Way Leong was a leading organizer) from 1929
through 1967. Such associations were essential features of Chinese settlement
throughout Alberta and were also an important means through which prominent
merchants could exercise leadership and influence within their communities. The
building was a site of sustained commercial, associational and social use that reflects
the historic presence and contributions of the merchant class in Chinese-Albertan
communities.

Finally, the building draws additional significance as a domestic space long
associated with the daily lives of the Leong family – Way, his wife Florence who
immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong in 1919, and their thirteen children. The
structural racism faced by Chinese immigrants most notably the $500 Head Tax
(1903) and the full exclusion of Chinese immigrants from Canada in 1923, created

                                         - 199 -
The Alberta Gazette - Government of Alberta
THE ALBERTA GAZETTE, PART I, MARCH 15, 2019

particular conditions that made family formation very rare in Chinese-Albertan
communities. The small number of Chinese families that did settle in Alberta in this
period were overwhelmingly drawn from the merchant class, who represented only a
small proportion of the overall Chinese population but were exempt from the Head
Tax and could thus afford to bring their wives over from Canada. Available evidence
suggests that there were as few as sixteen Chinese merchant families in Alberta after
the passage of the Chinese Immigration Act in 1923 – as such, Florence and Way
Leong were joining an extremely small social group when they arrived in Lethbridge
in 1926. Merchant families played an essential role sustaining Chinese-Albertan
communities during the Exclusion Era (1923-47), when new immigration was banned
and population growth came only from natural increase and migration from other
provinces. As such, Florence’s presence allowed her to play an important role helping
to operate the Bow On Tong Co. store, and her decades-long association with the
building reflects the important and often overlooked contributions of women to the
success of Chinese-Albertan businesses. The Leong family’s long association with the
building reflects an important social dimension of Chinese history in Alberta – the
presence of merchant families, and the emergence of an Albertan-born Chinese
settlement population.

Wing Wah Chong Co. Building together with the land legally described as:

and municipally located in Lethbridge, Alberta

be designated as a Provincial Historic Resource under Section 20 of the Historical
Resources Act, RSA 2000 cH-9.

The reasons for the designation are as follows: The Wing Wah Chong Co. Building is
significant as a rare and excellent example of an early twentieth-century Chinese
commercial building. It is additionally significant due to its association with one of
Alberta’s oldest Chinatowns.

Built in 1908, the Wing Wah Chong Co. Building is highly significant as a rare
example of a pre-World War One Chinese-owned commercial building. Its high level
of integrity strongly communicates the structure’s multiple uses, as well as the central
importance of such buildings in Chinese-Albertan communities. In its early years, the
building was occupied by a pair of Chinese goods retailers, the Wing Wah Chong Co.
(1908-18) and the Kwong On Lung Co. (1919-24). This original use is conveyed by
the building’s form and massing – typical of pre-World War One commercial blocks
in Lethbridge – as well as its proximity to other historically Chinese-owned
businesses along Second Avenue South. The basement yields evidence of the
building’s residential use, with remnants of sleeping cubicles used by Chinese
immigrants. Chinese merchants commonly rented space out to lodgers in the early
1900s, and the cubicles vividly convey the cramped living conditions endured by
working-class Chinese immigrants. More broadly, the cubicles illustrate the crucial
importance of commercial buildings in Chinese-Albertan communities – merchants
were often the first point of contact for newly-arrived Chinese immigrants, and
providing accommodation space was one of the ways that merchants maximized their
revenue and helped new arrivals adjust to life in Alberta. From 1917 until the late
1960s, the top floor was home to a succession of restaurants, including the Pekin
Café, Canton Chop Suey, and New China Chop Suey. Restaurants were among the
most common businesses established by Chinese entrepreneurs, and the Wing Wah
Chong Co. Building’s use as a restaurant is echoed by Chinese ghost signage on the
pediment that translates to ‘New China Restaurant.’ In short, the building’s
exceptional heritage value is manifest in its ability to communicate multiple and
distinct uses – restaurant, retail space, living quarters – which in turn echo the socio-
economic structure of Chinese-Albertan communities. The commercial elements
reflect the entrepreneurship of Chinese merchants; the cubicles strongly illustrate the
austere living conditions of working-class immigrants; and the building’s dual
business and residential functions collectively demonstrate the central importance of
commercial structures in early Chinese-Albertan communities.

The building has additional heritage value due to its association with one of Alberta’s
earliest Chinatowns – distinct clusters of Chinese settlement, commerce and cultural
activity that were found in the province’s major urban centres. In their earliest stage
of development, these Chinatowns tended to emerge along a single street and were
anchored by businesses such as laundries, restaurants and retail stores that attracted a
predominantly Chinese clientele and became magnets for further settlement. The
Wing Wah Chong Co. Building reflects this process – it was one of the first
commercial structures built along Second Avenue South, and remains an important
element of a streetscape that strongly conveys a distinct historical Chinese

                                         - 201 -

neighbourhood. This nascent Chinatown emerged near a gulch on what was the
western edge of Lethbridge in the early 1900s, away from the downtown core. This
location reflects the racism and discrimination faced by Chinese in Lethbridge in the
early 1900s, in particular the general unwillingness of Euro-Canadian landlords to
rent commercial space to Chinese merchants in downtown Lethbridge and mob
violence against Chinese residents and businesses in 1907, which further discouraged
Chinese merchants from locating in the city’s commercial core. This concentration of
Chinese settlement was reinforced by a discriminatory bylaw in 1911 that confined
Chinese-owned laundries to a ‘restricted area’ on the western edge of town.

While these factors are specific to Lethbridge, they echo a general pattern of racist
hostility and discriminatory regulation in other Albertan cities that ensured
Chinatowns would emerge in isolated areas where there was little development
pressure. In addition, the Second Avenue South streetscape is one of the last in
Alberta that reflects the emergence of a pre-World War One Chinatown in its original
location – other Albertan Chinatowns have either moved or lost the integrity
necessary to communicate a distinct historical Chinese neighbourhood. The heritage
value of the Wing Wah Chong Co. Building is thus greatly enhanced by its spatial
relationship with other historically Chinese-owned buildings along Second Avenue
South, its siting away from the downtown core, and its status as a constituent element
of one of the last remaining streetscapes that reflects the earliest years of Chinese
settlement in Alberta.

Richards Block, together with the land legally described as:

Plan I
Block 67
Lot 32

and municipally located in Edmonton, Alberta

be designated as a Provincial Historic Resource under Section 20 of the Historical
Resources Act, RSA 2000 cH-9.

The reasons for the designation are as follows: The Richards Block is provincially
significant as an outstanding example of Edwardian commercial architecture and for
its association with the economic, social and cultural development of Strathcona in
the early twentieth century.

The Richards Block was built in 1909-10 by A.H. Richards Co., one of Strathcona’s
oldest commercial firms. It was one of many three-storey brick commercial blocks
constructed along Whyte Avenue between 1910 and 1914, reflecting a trend common
across Alberta’s urban centres during the early twentieth century economic boom.
The scale, design, and materials illustrate the decisive shift away from wood-frame
‘boomtown’-style merchant buildings to more substantial commercial blocks that
strongly communicated a sense of permanence and optimism in Strathcona’s (and
Alberta’s) future. The building was also a statement of the owner’s wealth and
prominent status within the community, reflected in such classically-inspired
ornamental features as the roofline bracketed cornice, corbelled parapet and brick
pilasters.

The building functioned as both a commercial and social centre. The main floor was a
commercial space for Richards’ general store and other businesses, while the upper
floors contained a dance hall and meeting space for fraternal organizations such as the
Freemasons and the Odd Fellows. These activities, in particular the association with
fraternal activity, speak to the important role that the Richards Block played in the
growth and development of economic, social and cultural activity in early twentieth-
century Strathcona.
