Downtown Beaufort may soon once again have a full artisinal bakery.
Back in April word spread that the long vacant Von Harten Bros. feed and seed building at 509 Carteret Street could see preservation in the form of being revamped as a bakery.
Well, Eat Sleep Play Beaufort writes that the "Beaufort Bread Company" is due to move in.
No word on a timeline yet, but given the state of the building, give it some time.
We'll be sure to keep you posted.
The building is one of downtown Beaufort's most dilapadated but beloved — given that, here are a couple more photos of the building's beautiful decay.
