Historic Sites of Manitoba: Rabinovitch Building (322 Stephen Street, Morden)
In 1893, David Rabinovitch (1867-1946) established a dry goods and men’s clothing store in this building along Stephen Street in Morden. Ramsay Monaghan took over management of the business in the late 1950s, retiring in 1990. Barry Peters then operated Barry’s Menswear here until 1997. In 1997, Dave Destoop purchased the building from the Rabinovitch family, remodelled it extensively and opened the Blue Moon Café. It closed in 2000. It is now a retail florist shop.
