Title	Exterior view of two-storied Chinese restaurant (Lugo residence) in disrepair on the east side of the Plaza, ca.1886
Description	Photograph of exterior view of two-storied Chinese restaurant (Lugo residence) in disrepair on the east side of the Plaza, ca.1886. This was one of the first two-story residences in Los Angeles. The building consists of a covered veranda and balcony, four windows with shutters on the second level, and three dormer windows along the roof. There is a pile of debris or wood in front of the large building. A shoemaker has a shop next door. Furniture and two Chinese lanterns are visible on the second story porch. At least eight additional Chinese lanterns hang below. Four men stand in front. A horse and carriage are visible at right. To the far left, another carriage can also be seen. Some signs are in Chinese. Legible signs include: "Chung Kee, shoe maker, repairing", "Chung Kee Co., shoe makers" and "Chinese merchandise, Chinese goods, butcher shop".
