There are few things that can drag me from my bed at four in the morning, especially in the middle of a Nor’easter. As I trudged up Concord Avenue in the dark, pummeled by rain, only the thought of Hi-Rise’s bread, straight from the oven, kept me going. I had arranged to observe the pre-dawn bread-making, and through the plate-glass windows the bakery’s light glowed like a beacon—the only sign of life on a dreary morning...
...outpost on Brattle Street, in the yellow Blacksmith House, but the main shop, not more than a 15-minute walk from the Square and just a few minutes from the Quad, has been my little secret since my first year.

The lost delivery man pulled up at Lowell House in 1930, so the story goes, and asked Lowell House Master Julian Lowell Coolidge whether he had arrived at Eliot House. Coolidge supposedly took one look at the chandeliers the man was delivering and promptly replied, “Yes, this is Eliot House...
