The Ward Baking Company Building was an industrial facility in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, New York. It was constructed in 1911 by George S. Ward as a baking plant for the Ward Bread Company, which later became the Continental Baking Company.
According to the Ward Baking Company, the Ward Building housed the first "sanitary and scientific bakery in America."[1] The building housed hundreds of workers who produced 250,000 loaves of bread per day.[2]
It was demolished in 2007 to make way for Pacific Park.
