Historic Sites of Manitoba: Globe Bedding Warehouse (274 Jarvis Avenue, Winnipeg)
This two-storey red brick and stone warehouse at the southeast corner of Jarvis Avenue and Schultz Street in Winnipeg was designed by local architect Max Zev Blankstein and constructed in 1918 for the Globe Bedding Company at a cost of about $25,000. It was built out of necessity after the company's original warehouse burned down. In 1926, a $40,000 two-storey brick extension was added by Victor Rubin on the east side of the building. The Globe Bedding Company occupied the building into the 1960s.
The building was destroyed by fire on the morning of 22 July 2019. The site is now an empty lot.
