    I wondered if I had this wrong. Seems I did. I just made the association with the Taoist identity. Perhaps I will swap this one out one day. There was no shortage of shots from Brooklyn Chinatown I could use.

    Thanks for spotting this.

    This one really isn't a "house of worship."

    Overseas Chinese "benevolent associations" were organizations formed to provide quasi-governmental services to immigrant Chinese communities throughout the world. A Chinese immigrant from a certain province in China or speaking a certain dialect of Chinese might find a particular benevolent association in his new city that caters to the Chinese sub-group he hails from. The benevolent association might be able to find him a place to stay temporarily and a job somewhere (often at another member's restaurant) to get him started in his new country.
