华盛顿华埠豆芽厂旧址将变身书店：1882基金会打造玩具图书文创空间
在哥伦比亚特区华盛顿市华埠，1882基金会正在把 Tony Cheng 餐厅后巷的一处空间打造成名为「豆芽工厂——玩具、工艺与图书」（The Bean Sprout Factory — Toys, Crafts & Books）的店铺。
据11月1日刊发的报道，店名取自华埠历史上那座五层豆芽仓库：它曾大规模种植豆芽，供应首都、纽约与费城一带的餐馆，华埠的孩子们当年曾在那里帮忙浇水、采收与打包。新店铺将设在西北区 I 街616号 Tony Cheng 餐厅后巷，属于该街区的再开发项目，后巷由 Monument Realty 开发。
基金会表示，新空间将面向年轻家庭、儿童、教师与终身学习者，提供益智玩具、图书、工艺品与动手活动，并设专门的图书区与位于华埠中心的社区活动室，帮助访客了解美国华人社区的历史。
基金会2025年度报告于2026年8月发布，其中提到已争取到在华埠中心设立专门社区空间的承诺，但尚未公布开业日期。基金会还通过「华埠未来」计划，推动华埠保持活力、包容与韧性。

DC Chinatown's Bean Sprout Factory Site to Become a Bookshop as 1882 Foundation Builds Toy, Book and Craft Space
In Washington's Chinatown, District of Columbia, the 1882 Foundation is turning a space in the alley behind Tony Cheng's Restaurant into a shop named The Bean Sprout Factory — Toys, Crafts & Books.
According to a report published on November 1, the name comes from the five-story bean sprout warehouse of Chinatown history, which grew sprouts on a large scale for restaurants across the capital, New York and Philadelphia, where neighborhood children once helped water, harvest and package the sprouts. The new shop will sit in the alley behind Tony Cheng's at 616 I Street NW, part of a redevelopment of the block led by Monument Realty.
The Foundation says the space will offer educational toys, books, crafts and hands-on programs for young families, children, teachers and lifelong learners, with a dedicated book space and a community room in the heart of Chinatown to help visitors connect with the history of Chinese communities in America.
The Foundation's 2025 annual report, released in August 2026, says a dedicated community space in the heart of Chinatown has been committed for the project, but no opening date has been announced. Through its Chinatown Futures initiative, the Foundation works to keep Chinatown vibrant, inclusive and resilient.
