The Pui Tak Center (Chinese: 培德中心; pinyin: Péidé Zhōngxīn) was established in 1994 by the Chinese Christian Union Church to be a Christian witness to Chinese in Chicago through educational, family and community services.
The Pui Tak Center building is a historic place in Chicago Chinatown. It was designated a Chicago Landmark by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks on December 1, 1993.[1]
It was originally built for the On Leong Merchants Association.[2] The building was constructed from 1926 to 1928. The architects for this project were Christian S. Michaelsen and Sigurd A. Rognstad.
