History

In 1877, English immigrant John G. Wright founded the Golden Sheaf Bakery, the first city of Berkeley's wholesale/retail bakery. The original Golden Sheaf Bakery was located on 2026 Shattuck Avenue.

The 2069–2071 Addison Street building was designed by architect Clinton Day. It is a two-story brick building with Tuscan ordered pilasters, and one of the only remaining brick buildings in downtown Berkeley. In 1905, Golden Sheaf was one of the largest bakeries in California. When the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire destroyed the city, Golden Sheaf Bakery was able to feed the great number of homeless people in San Francisco.
