A Southeast Asian refugee and multilingual advocate\, she strengthened culturally responsive support for immigrant and refugee families across generations. She also helped inspire the Friends of Cameron House\, an alumni community dedicated to giving back and supporting others. We are proud to count Ming Quan Chang among the many iconic women who have shaped Cameron House. \nAmy Lee \nAmy Lee is doing the hard work on the frontlines of our community as a proud Chinatown-rooted leader and advocate. She is the founder of Dear Community\, a grassroots organization uplifting Chinatown through cultural programming\, small business support\, and community connection and currently serves as a Legislative Aide to Supervisor Danny Sauter\, supporting District 3 policy and constituent outreach.

Burnham\, of Chicago Illinois\, to construct the Merchants Exchange as a central location for businessmen to meet and conduct commerce. Burnham hired up and coming architect\, Willis Jefferson Polk. Polk’s better known San Francisco commissions include the Hallidie Building\, Kezar Stadium\, and the Pacific Union Club on Nob Hill\, which some may remember was featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller\, “Vertigo.” Only four years after work began on the Merchants Exchange\, tragedy struck when the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906 devastated San Francisco. 28\,000 buildings were lost\, yet the Merchants Exchange Building survived\, albeit damaged by fire. \nTo redesign and rebuild the building’s damaged interiors\, Polk tapped a talented young local architect. Little did he know at the time\, but his daring choice would turn out to be an architectural superstar: Julia Morgan. The first female architect to graduate from the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed female architect in California\, Morgan’s fame would eventually eclipse Polk’s. Morgan’s assignment on the Merchants Exchange began her 45-year relationship with the building. For the better part of the 20th century\, Morgan maintained her offices on the 14th floor of the building\, a space where her most notable designs took shape.
