Above the studio, the historic Quock Mui House serves as a gateway to Monterey’s past. It was the long-time residence of Quock Mui, the first documented Chinese American woman born on the Monterey Peninsula. She mastered five languages and served as a bridge between diverse communities on the coastline. After her family was displaced in 1906, they resettled at McAbee Beach and later purchased this cottage on Wave Street in 1924.
