Bragg’s Pie Factory
Phoenix has its own flat-iron style building!Braggs Pie Factory, was just that…a pie factory until 1962.The building has seen many tenants come and go but, it was recently refurbished is now used as a special art space.It was built to accommodate Bragg’s bakery in 1946 in a design called the “International Style.”
That looks vaguely familiar...I lived in Phoenix from 1949-50 to 1953...and then again from 1959 to 1965. It's a wonderful structure and I'm so glad it has been renovated and put to good use!

What a great design. Great for pies and art.
Nice shot of an interesting building- it looks very 1930s Art Deco but I guess that is carried through to the 1940s in this case.

This is a cool old building. Can't you just imagine all the mouth-watering pies that must have been available in its day!
It is an interesting little building. It would be a good showplace for art.
Great post, Sharon. Wish the world contained more "pie factories" where they really made and sold pies.
I need to go try the pies from this great looking place
I like the shape of it. Kind of like a slice of pie.
After the Tracy's "slice of pie" it is now a slice of Art. Good that they maintained the building as it was.
This is an interesting looking building. I like that the pie sign is still there.
I like art...but, right now, I want pie.
What a neat find! Pie? I like pie!
The building looks very sleek and modern; must have been a successful renovation.
I just love buildings like that! And this one is so unique...I love those tall windows. Plus, those pink plants make a nice touch.
Perfect pie shape for a bakery. Love that style!
nicely shaped building, i hope they have some nice meat pies there.
Grand Ave? I used to admire this building during First Fridays and often thought it would make a great art space.

It may not be a tall building but a flat-iron it is. :-) Very cool!
