Sketching Old Bakery and Emporium – Urbansketch

Firstly, we had an astonishing River Walk, then we decided to get back to the Capitol Building. Since we were having a beautiful sunny day, we supposed that amazing building would look even better. Walking down, we found this small building at the end of the Congress Avenue known as The Old Bakery and emporium. European immigrants built it back in 1876, their influence is undeniable. Usually, being in the presence of such a conservative society amazes me. So, here I am Sketching Old Bakery building.

Although it keeps the Bakery on the front, there is no baking in this building. The Old Bakery got closed and, in time, the building turned into a kind of Workshop / Art Gallery. Here you can find beautiful art pieces handmade by local seniors.

Este edificio fue levantado en 1876 por inmigrantes europeos. Su influencia es innegable. Siempre me asombro en presencia del espíritu conservador de una sociedad.

Aunque mantiene la panadería en el frente, no hay horneado en este edificio. La Old Bakery se cerró y, con el tiempo, el edificio se convirtió en una especie de taller / galería de arte. Aquí puedes encontrar hermosas piezas de arte hechas a mano por personas mayores locales.
