Inscription. The Yreka Bakery (spelled and pronounced equally correct forward and backward), was founded in 1856 by alleged Civil War deserter Frederick Deng. The business actually began at another location and then moved across the street before finally settling in this brick building. There were several owners, but the bakery operated continuously until 1965. Early newspaper accounts advertised 12 loaves of bread for a dollar (delivered daily), and a full assortment of other baked goods at reasonable prices. When the bakery vacated, another business moved in with a name that carried on the palindromic tradition: Yrella Gallery.

Erected by City of Yreka.
