Here in Burns Lake, British Columbia they have a number of older buildings situated around town and the Visitors Centre has a really nice walking tour map/brochure to these heritage sites.

The brochure lists the streets and where each of the buildings can be found, this makes for a refreshing walk, and also a walk through some of the Burns Lake history.

It was later occupied by a senior citizens apartment complex, then declared a heritage building in 1982 and redeveloped as an office building by its owner, the Burns Lake Native Development Corporation.
