Lanning Bakery
618 High St.
Baldwin City, Ks 66006

This structure is one of a group of masonry buildings constructed in 1900 and illustrated in the 1908 Baldwin Souvenir. Small frame buildings occupied the lots at the NE corner of Seventh and High as late as May, 1899. Then G.B. Lanning acquired a tract approximately 94X 140 feet. He sold two parcels on the west (B21). This building housed a bakery c. 1905-1912. Lanning sold to Cassius E. Lockwood in 1904. Lockwood 's bakery was listed in the 1903 city directory. By 1908 C.W. Mitchner operated the Bon Ton Bakery in this location. Lockwood owned the property until c. 1930.

Commercial building in row, rectangle, one story, three front bays, recessed side entrance, brick and stone walls, gable roof and parapet. Ornament consists of a projecting metal cornice with brackets. Store-front altered with modern brick and shingled awning.
