This two-storey frame structure in Garson, in the Rural Municipality of Brokenhead, was built in 1939 by businessman Louis Juravsky (1895-1957). It occupies the site of the previous Blue (general) Store built in 1914 by Mr. Tatalman, the town’s second postmaster (1916-1920). In 1963, Garson voted on a liquor referendum allowing alcohol to be sold in the hotel and allowing women to be present. In 1964, owner Steve Dureski added a mixed beverage room.
