The Chinese Association of Trinidad & Tobago (CATT), located on #7 St. Ann’s road was founded on October 10th, 1945, and registered on the 16th. One of the major operating objectives established was to work for the cultural, social, educational and economic upliftment of the Chinese Community in Trinidad and Tobago. This unique building contains beautiful colonial architectural features including wooden fretwork, cast iron columns and unique etched glass. It is a building with a striking cast iron cresting on top of its front facing gables, with wooden jalousies lining the windows and ornate brackets adjoined to the poles which create a decorative entrance to the building.
