Temple of Kwan Tai

The Temple of Kwan Tai (, also known as the Mendocino Joss House or Mo Dai Miu) is a Chinese Taoist temple in Mendocino, California, dedicated to Kwan Tai and built according to some sources in 1854.〔〔.〕〔 It is California Historical Landmark #927,〔(California Historical Landmarks in Mendocino County ), California State Parks Office of Historic Preservation, accessed 2011-12-24.〕 and is one of the oldest Chinese temples in California that has been used continuously since its construction.〔(California Historical Landmarks in Mendocino County ), accessed 2011-12-25. Other 1850s-era Chinese temples in California include the Weaverville Joss House, San Francisco's Tin How Temple, and the Bok Kai Temple in Marysville.〕
It is the only remaining joss house on the northern California coast,〔(Mendocino Joss House (Temple of Kwan Tai) ), Asian-Pacific Heritage Month, National Register of Historic Places, 2002, accessed 2011-12-25.〕 and the only remaining building from what was once a large Chinese community in Mendocino.〔

The Temple of Kwan Tai is a small brightly painted red and green redwood building with two doors, three windows, and a gable roof,〔〔 located at 45160 Albion St. in Mendocino, facing south towards the Pacific Ocean.〔 Nine steps lead from the street level to the front door, a number that "is said to fend off evil spirits".〔.〕 The name of the temple is written over the door,〔 in Chinese characters pronounced in Cantonese as "Mo Dai Miu" or "Military God-king Temple". The main room of the temple is approximately in area;〔 a small room at the rear of the building, originally the temple keeper's quarters, is now used as an office.〔〔
The temple is dedicated to the deified Han Dynasty general known in Cantonese as Kwan Tai (or Guan Di in Mandarin), and holds in its main altar an image of Kwan Tai flanked by generals Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, decorated in shell and glass on a black fabric background. A table in front of the altar holds five pewter altarpieces. Signboards recording prayers and donations are displayed on the temple walls, a collection of flags, drums and baskets stands to the left of the altar, and the room also holds two wooden benches and a furnace for burning offerings. Taoist mandalas hang in the two front windows.〔〔〔
