Description
This Chinese-style red and turquoise security gate behind Peirano's Market in Ventura, is all that is left of a once thriving Chinese community. The area grew to about 200 residents from about 1866 until about 1923. The Chinese were not treated well. They laborers, servants, railroad workers, and some business owners. Excavations have unearthed remnants of the community.
