This arch marks the entrance to Vancouver's Chinatown, the second largest Chinatown in North America. It isn't the original arch, however, as you can see in the older photo taken in 1901.

Chinatown is a location that has been an important part of Vancouver's history since it was founded in 1886. I could find very little information about the arch itself, other than this photo from 1901 of an arch at this spot that predates the one seen today.
Year photo was taken: 1901
