Dean's Beauty Salon and Barber Shop is a historic business and commercial building located in the
Black-owned businesses to survive the upheavals of urban renewal, disinvestment, and gentrification that decimated the Black business district in lower Albina starting in the 1960s. It represents the history of African American entrepreneurship in the Albina area and the importance of the hair care industry in African American culture, and became an important gathering place for the Black community.[1] As of 2021, it is the oldest continuously operated Black-owned business in Oregon.[1][2]
The building was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.[3]
