After that it served as a bakery operated by the Griesser family. The reviewer called it a vernacular c. 1890 structure significant as a Czech fraternal lodge and later a bakery.","narrative":"This one-story frame building at 304 N. Logan in Bryan, Texas, was put up around 1890, probably in the mid 1890s, as a lodge hall for a Czech fraternal society known as the C.S.P.S. or C.P.S. lodge. County tax rolls from 1893 list the owner as a lodge, and the group used the hall until 1911. Afterward the Griesser family owned it for many years and ran a bakery there. The building has drop siding, a gable roof with standing-seam metal covering, box eaves, and wood double-hung windows with four-over-four lights. A double-door main entrance faces the street, and a shed addition extends from the west side. The interior has an open plan. The building is recognized for its connection to Czech-American heritage in Bryan and for its later commercial use as a bakery. It was in good condition and used as a residence when documented in 1986.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Listed in good condition; present use is residential.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.124768-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/95/9684/40968495/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001611.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001611/daba1cf992-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001611/daba1cf992-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSPS_Lodge_Griesser_Bakery_(1_of_1).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSPS_Lodge_Griesser_Bakery_(1_of_1).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968495","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001705"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/brazos-county/csps-lodge-griesser-bakery-87001611/"}
