We visited the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association during our first visit to Chinatown, without really knowing what to expect. When we walked in, we were greeted by a member of the staff there who encouraged us to take pictures of the facility when we explained that we were students learning about the area. As seen in this photograph, there were a variety of Chinese decorations and artwork on the walls, and there was a seating area for patrons waiting to be called in.
