Bank of Canton (former Chinese Telephone Exchange)

San Francisco, United States of America

Built in 1891, it was destroyed and rebuilt in 1909, originally the building housed the country's only Chinese telephone exchange. The exchange closed in 1949 and the building was subsequently restored and turned into a bank in 1960. The building is arguably the first important building in Chinatown

. It is a three-tiered pagoda style building.
