Do you know of any place I can find information on Adolph Bieber circa 1881.
I have found out thru Manitoba archives that he was the original owner of my house on Gertie St. in 1881, which he had built for 3500 dollars a tidy sum at the time and he was speculator and a dry goods merchant.
He was instrumental in helping Jewish immigrants to Winnipeg.
I did find out he had 2 daughters and a maid from Finland.
I am restoring the old house, and have reopened the butlers stair (or back stair) as they were sometimes referred to.
and was looking for some history on Adolph, and his life here in Winnipeg.
The house is a fascinating 2 and a half story late Victorian.
and I have managed to save and frame original wallpaper and vinyl flooring from when it was new.
any information or pictures or hyperlinks you might have would be greatly appreciated
