Historic Sites of Manitoba: Shaarey Shomayim Synagogue / Shaarey Zedek Synagogue / Eagles Hall / Sudanese Canadian Community Centre (129 Dagmar Street, Winnipeg)
This two-storey brick structure on Dagmar Street in Winnipeg was designed by brothers Wallace Cotman Eade and Hugh R. Eade, and built in 1907 by contractors Edward H. Cottrell and McElveny and Company. Known originally as the Shaarey Shomayim Synagogue, it became the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue after the 1913 amalgamation of the two congregations. It was used until the move to a new building on Wellington Crescent in 1950.
Among the rabbis who served at Shaarey Zedek was Herbert Julius Samuel (1914-1925).
The next occupant of the building was Aerie No. 23 of the Fraternal Order of Eagles that used it as a meeting hall. The building is now used as the Sudanese Canadian Community Centre.
