Old Bakery, built 1876 by Chas. Lundberg. Bread then was not sliced or wrapped; children and maids waited with baskets to take home loaves hot from the oven. House specialities were sponge cake ladyfingers, glazed kisses, almond-meal macaroons.
A front balcony (since razed) permitted a later baker, Henry Maerki, to photograph parades, including one in 1901 for U.S. President William McKinley.
Now Austin Heritage Society's Tourist Information Center.
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark 1966.
