The Lee Family of New York Chinatown Since 1888

Harold L. Lee and Sons, Inc., is a cornerstone of Chinatown. In this exhibition, MOCA traces the rise of the Lee family business over 125 years – from a modest grocery store to a national insurance brokerage. Artifacts and photographs will be presented in an authentic recreation of a Chinatown general store: an exquisite space fashioned to represent an original New York storefront complete with tin ceilings, built-in wooden cabinets, and brick walls. Their business ventures ranged from film distribution, retail, tourism, insurance brokerage, to foreign currency exchange. The Lee family history will reveal a mix of business acumen and social responsibility that helped shape and sustain the New York Chinatown of today.
