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.”

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