Maps, Directions, and Place Reviews



History

The main Bakery Square building was built as a Nabisco factory in 1918 and operated until 1998. Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwest Pennsylvania bought the building in 1999 and leased it to the Atlantic Baking Company, which was subsequently merged with Bake-Line Group and then went bankrupt in 2004. In 2006, the City of Pittsburgh declared the building blighted, paving the way for a redevelopment plan by Walnut Capital in 2007. The building opened after remodeling in May 2010.

In June 2014, President Barack Obama visited TechShop, a workshop and prototyping studio, in Bakery Square.
