Description: Albumen photograph, 4-7/8 by 8 inches, of the exterior of Hang Fer Lo, the leading Chinese restaurant in San Francisco before the earthquake. It operated on two floors above Columbo & Co. Cigars, on Dupont Street, between Sacrament and Clay Streets in Chinatown. The entrance is located under a small "restaurant" sign to the left of the image on the ground floor. A Chinese language sign is visible at the center of the third floor.

The Colombo cigar factory was one of the larger Chinese-owned cigar-making operations in the city.

This view is captioned in the image in a narrow strip along the bottom of the print. Near fine.

A fine example on a slightly larger modern cardstock mount.
