History

In 1877, English immigrant John G. Wright founded the Golden Sheaf Bakery, the first city of Berkeley's wholesale/retail bakery.[3][6] The original Golden Sheaf Bakery was located on 2026 Shattuck Avenue.[3][6]

The 2069–2071 Addison Street building was designed by architect Clinton Day.[7] It is a two-story brick building with Tuscan ordered pilasters, and one of the only remaining brick buildings in downtown Berkeley.[3][7] In 1905, Golden Sheaf was one of the largest bakeries in California.[7] 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.[7]

In 1967, the Golden Sheaf Bakery held a concert series, which included a performance by Country Joe McDonald.[8][9]
