Authentic History Downtown Burns

Built in 1920, this building contributes to the wonderful history of Burns and all of Harney County. This building was built by the Yee family and was part of the original Chinese restaurant. After some time, it was used as a grocery store, a barber shop, a real estate office, a book parlor in the ’90’s, then a US Cellular retail store, and most recently a barber shop again.

The building sits in a very visible area of downtown Burns, just across from the Ford Dealership and right next to the famous Central Hotel.
