Commissioned by hotelier Thomas J. Burnes, Burnes House was built in 1886 and designed by architect John Teague. The three-storey building cost Burnes $20,000 and served as a hotel close to such public amenities as the Court House, Customs House, HBC warehouses, and waterfront.
In 1967, under the direction of architects Pearson & Lester, the exterior of Burnes House was restored and the interior redeveloped into a series of multi-level specialty shops and offices.
