Five months after a fire destroyed Telluride’s oldest and most iconic restaurant, Baked In Telluride is trying to rebuild on the same site. On Wednesday the Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) will consider final approval of an application to reproduce the historic building that stood at 127 South Fir Street. If one reproduces the appearance and size of an original structure, there should not be any major obstacles to HARC’s approval of the application. There would be no real estate development attached to this project, such as penthouse condominiums or additional residential property.
Open since 1976, Baked in Telluride, one of the town’s largest employers, supplied a variety of bagels and breads from challah to sprouted wheat to retail outlets in the region as well as providing their own restaurant operation providing affordable bagels, donuts, pizza, sandwiches and much more.
No timetable for opening the new bakery has been set.
