St. Anthony’s Bakery

St. Anthony’s Bakery in Brooklyn was in business for over 90 years before recently closing when the owners decided to finally retire. This second-generation owned Italian bakery was founded by Frank Scillaci’s uncle after he emigrated from Palermo, Italy 🇮🇹. When we took this film photo & interviewed Frank for our book “Store Front II- A History Preserved” in 2009 he told us that “One of the things that makes our bakery special is that we use a brick coal-fired oven to make all our fresh breads & cookies .” (Swipe left for 2nd photo of Frank & the coal-fired oven).

If you are interested in prints of this lovely bakery, please DM or email us: jandk(at)jamesandkarlamurray.com as we will be adding this image to our print portfolio
