Oneida Place, off of Jackson Street, although there was no Joss House entrance there as of 1885.
An oil painting depicts a narrow, upward-sloping alleyway with weathered buildings and a dirt path. In the center, a figure wearing a blue garment and a wide-brimmed hat stands near a brightly lit doorway that has vertical red banners with black characters on either side. Above this entrance, a small wooden balcony with a red-and-white striped awning and a decorative green railing projects from the building. To the right of the doorway, a dark, ornate lantern is mounted to the wall, and a wooden staircase leads upward behind the main structure. The buildings on both sides are rendered in muted shades of brown and gray, with visible textures of aged wood and masonry. The lighting originates from the upper left, casting soft shadows across the ground and highlighting the detail of the architecture. There is no English text visible within the scene of the painting itself.
