Ok. I think I have the progression building up to the Tur Mai Kai kinda pinned down. The first pic shows the Southgate Restaurant from 1961. This is the same building that would later house the TMK the Hidden Village and finally the Peking Palace. Note that the googie sign is not yet up.

The next pic is a better quality photo that I posted earlier. From 1965. The Southgate Inn sign is in place. This sign would latter become the sign for the TMK in 1969.

Two ariel photos both from 1965. Good pics of the building and what was called the "Southgate complex" The sign can bee seen in the photos as well as the modern shape of the building. Still pre-TMK.


This last pic maybe the photo for the postcard that Duke mentioned. The date is 1971, about three years into the TMK's run. Thanks
