Cameron House: 920 Sacramento St.

Cameron House is where Arnold first met Nanci at a dance that was being held in Chinatown. When the two met, Cameron House served as the social hub for Chinese American young people to come together and socialize. The two would date until Arnold could work up the nerve to ask Tommy Ow for Nanci’s hand in marriage. The two would wed on June 28th, 1969 and would spend nearly 50 decades of marriage together.
