Marker Text: 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 specialties were sponge cake ladyfingers, glazed kisses, almond-meal macaroons.
A front balcony (since razed) permitted a later baker, Henry Maerkt to photograph parades including one in 1901 for U.S. President William McKinley. Now Austin heritage society's tourist information center. (1966) Location: 1100 block Congress Avenue, Austin
