This 1876 building was originally the Lundberg Bakery. Its confections have served many a famous visitor, including Ma Ferguson and Teddy Roosevelt. O. Henry was even known to have lunch at this bakery while working at the Old General Land Office building. Listed with the National Register of Historic Places, the bakery occupied the building until 1936. Today, it has been restored and is staffed by volunteers as a gift shop, confectionery and hospitality desk to welcome visitors to Austin.

Old Bakery
I was disappointed to find out that it is no longer a bakery. I was even more disappointed that the original bakery area (current cafe) was closed. However, the restoration of such a grand old building is always wonderful to see. Bravo to Austin, and several other cities I visited in Texas, for recognizing the grandeur of old structures and working towards the restoration of such buildings. I was happy to make a purchase at the bakery to help support the seniors of Austin.
