The Allaire Village Bakery
A 19th century bakery was quite different from the bakery of today. Today a bakery offers a wide variety of breads, cakes, cookies and biscuits, pastries and pies to its patrons. Customers of the early 19th Century were basically given two options, they could purchase breads at the bakery or could bring their own dough, ready to be baked in the ovens. The bakery would also offer meat pies, similar to a calzone, which working class customers might purchase for their lunch.
