Adilman Building, Commercial building in Riversdale, Saskatoon, Canada
The Adilman Building is a commercial structure in Saskatoon featuring rounded corners and horizontal lines typical of Streamline Moderne design. The three-story building houses retail shops and offices on its multiple levels today.
The Adilman Building was built in 1912, expanded in 1921, and renovated in 1949. Adilman's Department Store opened in 1921 and anchored Saskatoon's 20th Street shopping district until it closed in 1974, when Jack Adilman retired. The Adilman family ran the store throughout that period.
The name recalls Adilman's Department Store, run by the Adilman family on 20th Street from 1921 until Jack Adilman retired in 1974. After the store closed, the building held an antique store, a farmer's market and a bingo hall. Since the 2012–2013 renovation it houses an advertising agency and a flower shop with home decor.
The building sits at the corner of Avenue B and 20th Street in downtown Saskatoon, making it easy to reach on foot. Visitors should note that individual tenants have different operating hours depending on their business.
The Jack Adilman estate created a fund that supports amateur sports programs across Saskatoon each year. This philanthropic legacy has shaped local athletic initiatives for decades.
