Dan Fredinburg.[5][6][7][8] The name of the gallery was due to the historic nature of the building they occupy. The building was erected in the year 1932, where a
French family procured the place during 1940's and opened a French laundry service, being first within the community.[9][5]
The gallery is also known for its partnership with the restaurant Koomaj Kitchen, for bringing traditional Northern Iranian food to San Francisco.[10][11] Several scenes from the
