Martin and Anastazia Bobowsky lived at this address with their children Olga, Paul, Angela and William for about a year in 1918 – 1919. Martin is listed at this address in Henderson’s 1919 Winnipeg Directory, page 528.
Martin opened a bookstore at the house that is also listed on page 1280 of the Directory. It is probably for this reason that he chose a location close to the Winnipeg’s business area near Main Street.
Today there is an indigenous credit union at this location.
In 1919 the Bobowsky family moved up the street to 568 Selkirk.
