The Harrington Bank Block & Opera House is a historic brick structure in Harrington, Washington, completed in December 1904 by the local firm J.R. Burrill and Company using locally made materials. Situated at the corner of Willis and South Third Streets, this imposing mixed-use building housed the Bank of Harrington on its main floor, alongside J.W. Dow's shaving parlors, R. Brenchley's cigar and confectionery store, and the offices of the Harrington Citizen newspaper. A bowling alley occupied the basement beneath the cigar store. The second floor contained a 350-seat opera house auditorium and a lodging house, separated by a partition. The opera house opened on December 16, 1904, to record attendance for the town. The bank's wood interiors and furnishings were provided by L.V. Sisum, owner of the Harrington Planing Mill. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, the same year the Harrington Opera House Society was founded to preserve the structure.
