My mom worked at the Taystee Bread building from 1978 until she was laid off in 1995. Does anyone know the current fate of the building? I don't know the exact address but I recall it being somewhere near Martin/McGraw. She worked in the accounting office and I have great memories of visiting her at work, specifically the fresh bread straight off the line. |

My 1940 City Guide says 1531 Lemay, which is on the eastside near the corner of Jefferson between the Waterworks and Jefferson Assembly. A 1977 phone book I have says 5721 Martin [between McGraw and Warren] and 33800 9 Mile [Farmington]. Your mom probably work on Martin. http://atlas.freshlogicstudios .com/?cp=42.33963277412846~-83 .13367097823548&style=o&scene= 42.33963277412846 |

My 1940 Polk's directory lists Taystee at 1531 Lemay and a branch location at 5721 Martin. My 1935 Polk's does not have a listing for Taystee, but it has the Tri-State Baking Co. at both 5721 Martin and 1531 Lemay. My 1925 Polk's lists just the Lemay location for Tri-State. Two pictures of the Martin Avenue building from two summers ago:

Thanks guys, it was the Martin address she worked at. I even remember the phone number! Nice pictures Mikem. Methinks we'll do some reminiscing this weekend. |
