Steve,
I grew up in a bakery sort of. My dad, brother, and an uncle and some other distant relatives all worked for Omar bakery till it closed after Fazio foods bought them. My dad and brother retired from Wonder Bread which is now gone as well. We had several bakeries in town when I was a kid---Wonder, Big Bear, Kroger, Omar and Blue bird all gone but Kroger. The reason why I brought it up is wonder had a way of getting bulk ingredients from semi tanker trucks. Have you seen buildings in a downtown areas that have water plugs sticking out of them for the fire department use? Wonder had something similar for the delivery of flour that the tanker trucks used. As for the doors I have not seen anything like them before but what ever explanation it is part of what makes the structure interesting.
