Schulze Baking Company Plant is a factory building located on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, United States.

It is located at 40 East Garfield Boulevard (also described as 55th Street and Wabash Avenue)[2] in the Washington Park community area in Cook County.

Originally built for the Schulze Baking Company, it was the home of the Hostess Brands' Butternut Bread until 2004.

[6] The building is located between the western edge of Washington Park and the Dan Ryan Expressway along a section of Garfield Boulevard that formerly hosted prominent businesses, including Schulze and the Wanzer Milk Company.

One of the few significant remaining businesses in the old Black Belt during this time was Hostess, which still used the building to make Butternut Bread.

[11] The building is a white terra cotta structure designed by John Ahlschlager in 1914 for the Schulze Baking Company.

[5] The structure has a flat concrete slab floor with four-way reinforcement designed to support 300 pounds per square inch (2,100 kPa).
