Duncan: Chinatown heritage photos to grace downtown alleyway
Duncan’s Chinatown comes back to life in photos to decorate a Station Street alley by summer’s end.
The joint project by the Duncan Business Improvement Association and the Cowichan Valley Museum will hang some two–dozen pictures of downtown’s Chinatown.
It leveled in the late ‘60s to make way for the round building, the courthouse and what is now a seniors’ centre.
The enlarged shots will be printed on aluminum then laminated against the weather, said museum curator Kathryn Gagnon.
Those images will replace some 20 paintings by Cowichan high school students.
Their artwork — now being returned — has graced the alleyway for about 15 years.
