This stone building on Stephen Street in Morden was constructed around 1895 by Stanley Hall of Kamloops, British Columbia for baker William Hall. A subsequent owner was Henry Hiebert, a member of the Brotherhood of Christians and Jews. He offered shelter for many new Canadians after the Second World War and it was claimed that one time that five families lived in the one-and-a-half storey, three bedroom home.
Later occupants included John C. Klassen and John Penner. In the 1970s the building became Jim’s Place Men’s and Boys Wear operated by Jim and Connie McSweeney. In 1979 Grace Warkentin renovated the building to suit its use as Grace’s Clothes Cupboard, a woman’s wear store. In 1997, the building was sold to Fay Remillard for her law office.
