imagine chilling with the homies at the ukrainian labor temple
This place is a jewel: the Ukrainian Labor Temple, by Robert E. Davies, 1918-19. An important centre for the Ukrainian community and organized labour in Winnipeg for over 100 years, and a National Historic Site. Lovingly maintained and still used for its original purposes. 😍
