Baker City in Baker County, Oregon — The American West (Northwest)
Gwilliam Brothers Bakery
Baker City Historic District
— Established 1874 —
After World War II, the building was enlarged by the addition of a wing along the north (Church Street) side.
A bakery business continued in the building until 1983. That year the building was converted into a restaurant. The remodeled decor featured a new tin ceiling. The heart of the bakery - the massive oven - remained in the building, however.
