About the Event: Wing Luke Museum
The Historic Hotel Tour goes through the historically preserved spaces of the museum building. Our building was built in 1910 and was formerly a laborer’s hotel throughout the early 20th century. The Chinatown International District and the hotels like ours in it are a direct cause of redlining and racial covenants. Many immigrants from Asia and the Pacific found home here because they were not able to in other areas of Seattle. On this tour, we bring participants in (virtually!) through the old bedrooms of the Freeman Hotel to see what life was like for folks back then and how they were able to build a community here.
