History
Mrs. Baird's expanded to Dallas in 1928, choosing a site at 1401 North Carroll Avenue in East Dallas close to the railroads. The two-story brick bakery, with handsome Prairie School detailing, opened in February 1929 producing about 3,500 loaves an hour, and a 1934 addition designed by Bertram C. Hill enlarged its cooling, wrapping and loading areas. Sold in 1956, it is the earliest surviving Mrs. Baird's building in the Metroplex and was listed on the National Register in 1995.
