The Ward Baking Company building at 800 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, New York, built in 1911, was an historic building and was a significant example of a period industrial facility. ==Introduction== The founder, George S. Ward, a captain of industry and soon-to-be baseball magnate, brought a team of architects to Europe for inspiration and they designed this building on the long boat ride home. In a 1921 Ward Bakery Publication called ''The Story of our Research Products'', company writers bragged about their founder, who had “the courage and the pioneer spirit to erect the first sanitary and scientific bakery in America.” The same publication describes the New York factory as “the snow-white temple of bread-making cleanliness.” With of area divided between its six floors and basement, the factory employed hundreds of New Yorkers. And with its capacity to turn out 250,000 loaves per day, it fed hundreds of thousands. 800 Pacific Street lies in a narrow corridor of Prospect Heights that once housed several major industries interspersed with historic brownstones. Now this area is primarily residential, with a sprinkling of small business utilizing the soaring industrial spaces. The Ward Baking Company Building is now a storage facility. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ward Baking Company Building」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
