The Novelty Bakery fire destroys the building that stood on the lot at 246 Front Street
The empty lot at 246 Front Street had held a building put up together with the two at Nos. 248 and 250. That group was lost in the Novelty Bakery fire of 1853, and when the district was designated in 1977 the report described the site as an empty lot. The buildings at Nos. 248 and 250 were rebuilt soon after the fire, but this lot was not.
