If you like #GhostSigns or little crumbs of Cambridge history, you might like this thread. (If not, look away now…)
On the corner of Mill Road and Hope Street in Cambridge, very near my childhood home (where my parents still live), is this building. I’ve walked past it many thousands of times. And running the full length of the wall is a #GhostSign so faint I’ve never noticed it before. 
For about a century, this was the How family bakery. I remember going there as a kid – if you went at the right time in the morning and hurried home, you could have the joy of eating bread still warm from the oven! Tasty iced buns, too. They closed down around 2000.
