Baltimore City Nineteenth-Century Photos

This great photo was created in 1885 and depicts the bakery
of William C. Kothe (center), his daughter Augusta (child)
and an unknown young woman. The bakery was located
at 209 North Gay Street. Check below for close ups of the 
display windows ...

A close up of the right window reveals the details of a sign,
"Wedding Cakes Made to Order"
not to mention a tempting display of cakes, donuts and other goodies!

Look closely at the window display and you'll see glass
ornaments strung across the window, candy canes, toy
animals and boxes of Christmas candies!

This wonderful photo was submitted by Sister Mary Annella, RSM. 
She is the great grand daughter of William C. Kothe
