Ebinger Baking Co. (1912)

Architect: Benjamin Hudson

38 Snyder Ave.

Flatbush, Brooklyn

This Brooklyn institution was founded by George and Catherine Ebinger in 1898. It eventually became a chain of 54 stores. They were famous for their Blackout Cake, named for the blackouts required during WWII. They closed their doors in 1972. Attempts to revive the brand have proved unsuccessful.

The Flatbush complex included buildings on Snyder Avenue built in 1912 and 1913 plus an additional building on Albemarle Street dating from 1924.

I couldn't get the camera to see what I saw....the dirt and the grime wasn't important, all I wanted to capture was the life on Flatbush Ave
