In 4/27/2019, I was in Washington with my family. On this day my sister and I went to Wing Luke Museum. We walked around the museum and then we went on a tour of the grocery store next to it and went into the boarding hotel that you could see.
The start of the tour they talked about Wing Luke and who he was. Then we went to a grocery store that just closed in 2019 that was located right next to the museum. They preserved a lot the food that were still in the original containers. There was a lot of different things in this shop. The owners even let workers sleep in the attic of the store.
Next door we went up some stairs to some floors that had sets of bedrooms. These bedroom are for a boarding hotel that workers could use while working. The rooms were small but you could fit four to five people in a room. It was 25 cents a week to stay. Some people would stay there a week up to a year there. It just depended on your job. There was one bathroom per floor.
There was about 100 floors in this boarding hotel. On the very top floors there was a gathering room, game room, dining room and a kitchen.
There was a lot of different kinds of artifacts in the rooms. Baby crib, toys, chair and cameras.
Great job describing this unique place!
