?Designed for millionaire cattle king, Patrick Burns, this building served as the Kootenay headquarters for the P. Burns Co. and housed one of the most comprehensive butcher shops in Canada.
Note the stylized foliage in the imported terracotta panels above the bracketed cornice. Over the entranceway is the date stone with an obvious reference to Burns’ business.
The building was constructed in 1899
