Laura DeMarco has two books on places that had been Cleveland. She speaks at libraries and elsewhere. The three places she is asked about most are Euclid Beach amusement park, the downtown Higbee's store, and Hough Bakeries. Hough had good food, and a good logo of a sky blue shield with white lettering. They had many neighborhood shops. The big bakery was hellishly hot to work in.
Lionel Pile came to Cleveland in 1902, and opened a bakery on Hough Avenue. Before bankruptcy in 1992 the Hough bakeries were the largest chain in the state.
Perhaps under these painted signs there are stone ornament and lettering
Reminders that the building was originally Star Baking Company before 1941
