Does anyone know exactly where that old plant was on 7th? I went there as a kid on a St Pius field trip in the 70's. I still have the hat they gave me for the factory tour. I did a little googling and found an article about the Rainbo plant in Lexington, but nothing about Louisville.

That is part of the old American Standard Buildings - made quite a few ambulance runs there. I believe the bakery was the large building right next door to the outlet store at 7th and Hill. Northeast corner.
