Information

F.M. Vance was the original builder of this suburban ice block storage facility. By 1933, the building was repurposed as general store for the neighborhood, carrying ice, cold drinks, fruit, groceries, ice cream and other treats. In 1965, the store was again repurposed to become the Wilson Bakery. Davis Purity Bakery moved to the site in 1973 and remained active as the local bakery for over 40 years.
