Tempe Bakery/Hackett House
Constructed 1888
The construction of these two buildings is associated with the first significant phase of commercial development in Tempe. The bakery complex was owned by William Hilge, a German immigrant, who produced bread in ovens and delivered it in Tempe and Mesa. In 1907, the Craig family purchased the buildings and converted them to a residence. Their daughter, Estelle, later married Roy Hackett, and lived on the property until it was sold to the City of Tempe in 1974.
Marker can be reached from South Maple Avenue.
