sometimes life gets away from you.

Rob and I took the last couple of weeks off to try and catch up on some rest and tackle a few lingering unfinished projects at 1871. In a 153 year old house, there is always something that needs tending to. Many somethings, most times. Preserving and caring for this historical property is so very important to us. We take great responsibility in making sure it will be here 153 years from now.

Once we stopped spending twenty hours a day in the kitchen, we had a moment to look around and realize how many projects had begun piling up. So, we got to work. For the last two weeks we have been busting our butts to work through a lengthy to-do list. Despite our efforts, we haven't reached the end. We've decided its best to do everything we can to mend these loose ends and make sure 1871 is being taken care of.

We are going to reopen The Bakery, next week, Wednesday, January 17th. We're very sorry for the inconvenience, and can't wait to see you all again.

*NOTE* If you have placed a reservation for this week, we are still filling them. We will contact each of you to confirm, but your reservation will still be made with all the usual love and care.
