A Chinese restaurant apparently has closed in the Lehigh Valley after decades of business.<\/p>\n

The space for China House appeared vacant Wednesday afternoon at Towne Center at 4783 Tilghman St. in South Whitehall Township. The interior appeared to be cleared out and the restaurant\u2019s signage above the entrance removed. The restaurant also couldn\u2019t be reached at the phone number listed on its website, <\/a>which was closed to online orders.<\/p>\n

A representative for Glazer Properties, which handles Towne Center<\/a>, couldn\u2019t immediately be reached for comment. The Glazer website listed the former China House space as available at 1,200 square feet.<\/p>\n

While an exact opening date for the restaurant couldn\u2019t be determined, media archives indicate the restaurant was open as early as the late 1980s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Chinese restaurant apparently has closed in the Lehigh Valley after decades of business.
