The Zodiac Tiles Live On: A Community Treasure Preserved

Sponsored by Wa Sung in 1977, the iconic Chinese Zodiac tiles have welcomed visitors at the Lincoln Square Community Center's front entrance for nearly 50 years.

With the building's demolition scheduled to begin in July or August 2026, Wa Sung acted quickly to preserve this cherished piece of community history. On July 11, 2026, contractors carefully removed all 469 Chinese Zodiac animal tiles, with the hope of incorporating them into a future historical art mural or public display.

Join us as we celebrate the next chapter for Lincoln Square! The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Lincoln Square Park Recreation Center and Resilience Hub will take place on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. We hope to see you there!

***AYSC volunteers brought the 15 heavy storage bins of 469 tiles to the Wa Sung Office!
