Burns Building
The Burns Building is a three-story Victorian Italianate-style commercial building erected in 1883 on the northeast corner of Main Street and Prairie Avenue. The structure is rectangular (59′ x 100′) with a small one-and-one-half-story addition in the rear. Of brick construction, the two main facades are stuccoed and heavily decorated with overlaid plasterwork. Although several obvious alterations have been made during this century (most notably removal of both the first-floor iron canopy and a pavilion over the southeast corner of the building), the facade of the upper floors remains virtually intact.
