Historic Sites of Manitoba: Safeway Store No. 523 (1411 Main Street, Winnipeg)

This one-storey brick building on Main Street in Winnipeg, constructed as a grocery for Safeway Stores Limited, opened officially on 14 December 1929. An addition on the front of the building has all but concealed the original storefront but portions are still visible from the side facing Atlantic Avenue.
