Golden Sheaf Bakery
In 1877 Jonathan G. Wright opened Berkeley’s first wholesale-retail bakery at 2026 Shattuck Ave. The original bakery, which is pictured here, was a two-story wood frame building that had tall storefront windows and a covered wood veranda in front. The owners, as well as their bakery workers and boarders, lived on the second floor. In 1905 the Wright family added the Golden Sheaf Warehouse around the corner at 2071 Addison. In 1907 they sold the bakery business to a group of local capitalists and went into real estate.Made/Created
