BURNED: TITA'S HIDEAWAY IN SIERRA CITY

2/23/2018

0 Comments

 
​Tita’s Hideaway, the historic building in downtown Sierra City which burned on February 7th, and is shown with Derek Beverly and friend, had a tremendously colorful past. 
The structure housed a number of businesses over the years, including the Tribune newspaper,  doctor’s office, a shoe store, and even a jail. At one time it was the location of Lottie’s Boarding House.
“Queen Louis,” the last surviving Chinese in Sierra City was a friend of Lottie’s family. He was known as a very sensitive and humble man who would honor the dead with bouquets of wildflowers and serenade newcomers on his old violin.
