This was a wonderful article to read. Thanks for the terrific photos which brought back lots of fond memories. My sister and I fondly remember visits to Uncle Henry and Aunt Lliy Hong, the former owners. Was the kitchen remodeled as well? We remember the meals our Uncle Henry, restaurant owner and chef at the long-gone Golden Phoenix in Chinatown, used to create there. As kids, we used to be amazed by the dumb waiter in that place! Were the second bedroom and single bath remodeled? We remember watching our Uncle Henry and Aunt Lily and their friends taking dance lessons on the linoleum floor in the basement area with mirrors along the walls. Oh, those bossa nova lessons! LOL
