SUMMARY:Tien Fuh Wu Way
DESCRIPTION:The block of Joice Street between Sacramento and Clay Streets has been commemoratively re-named Tien Fuh Wu Way. \nBorn into indentured servitude and rescued as a child\, Tien Fuh Wu—or Auntie Wu as she was known to many of Cameron House’s girls and women—became a central leader in San Francisco’s early anti-trafficking movement. Fluent in Cantonese and deeply trusted by survivors\, she worked tirelessly to protect women and girls from exploitation. \nJoice Street holds historic meaning. It was once a place where rescued girls\, Tien Fuh Wu included\, played\, laughed\, and found moments of safety. \nLittle is known about Tien Fuh Wu\, especially when compared to the iconic Donaldina Cameron\, but her impact on San Francisco’s Chinatown is larger than life. This commemorative renaming is just the beginning of the recognition that Tien Fuh Wu deserves. \nUpcoming Celebrations \n\nMarch 6 — Tien Fuh Wu Way sign unveiling and neighborhood ceremony\nMarch 19 – Tien Fuh Wu honored posthumously at Cameron House’s annual gala\nMay 30 – Tien Fuh Wu Day of Service\n\nJoin us this Women’s History Month as we turn history into action. \nSign up for March 6 celebration here: https://www.tfaforms.com/5213425 \nLearn more on our main Tien Fuh Wu page: https://cameronhouse.org/tien-fuh-wu-way/

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.
