John Sing Tang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Sing Tang (1913 – December 3, 1987) was a modernist architect from Arizona.[1] He worked in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and designed many homes in the Arcadia area in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the first Chinese-American architect licensed in Arizona. He received his degree in architecture from Rice University in 1944. Though many of his commercial works have been demolished he is still highly regarded architect in Arizona. His Helsing's Coffee Shop and Melrose Bowling Alley designs of the late 1950s are considered exceptional examples of Googie Architecture (both now demolished). Tang died in 1987 at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix at the age of 74.[2][3]
