Queck’s Bakery (Today’s Taproom), circa 1925

 

First photo: This a view from Bohemia Avenue of Queck’s Bakery, located on the site of what is now the Taproom. The Quecks were related to Vaughans. My father told me about when he, John Sager, and other boys used to play marbles in the alley next to this bakery. What he remembered most was the tantalizing aroma of the baked goods emanating from the building. He also said that the boys were able to keep warm against the building when they played during the winter. Notice the hitching post.

Second photo: Here is bakery owner, Bill Queck, holding his horse, Lollypop. They’re probably on their way to deliver some baked goods to north and south Chesapeake City.
