Taoist Temple, Taoist temple in Hanford, United States.
The two-story temple building on China Alley features traditional Chinese architectural elements with a rectangular shape and sloping roof design.
Constructed in 1893, the temple served Chinese railroad workers who settled in Hanford after completing the Southern Pacific railroad through San Joaquin Valley.
The temple functioned as a spiritual center, community meeting hall, and temporary lodging for Chinese immigrants during the late nineteenth century.
Monthly guided tours of the Taoist Temple Museum provide visitors with information about Chinese immigration history and religious practices in California.
In 2011, the National Trust for Historic Preservation listed China Alley, including the temple, among America's eleven most endangered historic places.
