Herman Gordon
The Boston Store – Herman Gordon arrived in
Minot in 1905 and opened a small tailor shop in town. His first shop was on
First Street South West. Later he moved to Main Street and opened the Boston
Store. Eventually, The Boston Store moved to First Street Southwest, just south
of what is now the Federal Building. Herman was ten years old and still living
in Russia when he “ went on the bench”. The term used at that time applied to
learning the tailor’s trade. He learned from his father. After coming to
America in 1902, he worked for three years as a tailor in Petrosky, Michigan
before moving to Minot. Herman and his wife, Helen, lived at 613 East Central
Avenue, or in what is now know as Eastwood Park
