1. The Ruland Bakery and Linthicum House Marker

Inscription. On this site there once stood the Adam Ruland Bakery, and to the right of it a private residence known as the Linthicum House. Both are shown above. The great fire of 1903 reportedly started in the flue of the store to the south of the bakery and soon spread to the bakery itself. Mrs. Mary Eisenhower, who lived above the bakery, awoke to the unpleasant odor of smoke. She spread the alarm and went out onto the sidewalk dressed in an overcoat and derby hat. The fire of 1903 destroyed most of the downtown business district.

Erected 2014.
