Long Description:The sign says:
"In 1869, Frank Kennedy introduced the reel oven, which works
like a ferris wheel, moving dough automatically through the heat.
This new method increased speed and control, allowing for many
different kinds of cookies and crackers. In 1892, the Fig Newton
made with James Mitchell's newly patented 'pie making' machine, was
first baked and named on this site."
The sign is located on a corner of Franklin St. and Sidney
Place, and is on the original Kennedy Bakery building, now
residential lofts.
