1. Bayha Bakery Marker
Brothers Jacob and Gottlieb Bayha started the Bayha Bakery in 1852. Jacob left the business, making Gottlieb the sole proprietor in the 1870s. The bakery was a three-story brick structure on Market Street with a deeply set courtyard hidden behind two large wooden doors. This was where supplies of flour and loads of baked goods were conveyed by horse-drawn wagons.
