BC Royal Cafe was perhaps the oldest established, long-surviving café in Chinatown. Its earliest record of existence is 1925 in the Wing Sang Building. Here, the B.C. Royal Café served the community for forty-one years, until its relocation in 1966 to 119 East Pender where it survived in style for another twenty-six years until about 1992. It was owned and operated by the Wing Toy family.

Laughing Hand

Keith McKellar's main collection of works focuses on the vintage cafes, theatres and street scenes of Vancouver BC. Keith was born in New Westminster in 1947, migrated to the bush town of Prince George with his family in 1952. The boom and bust fifties and sixties of Prince George gave him a keen eye and open heart for the characters of the logging towns, construction camps and the bush-shack families. He worked at sixty-five different jobs in several fields, before becoming the professional artist Laughing Hand.
