The Hausammann Brewhaus, formerly the Cottage Bakery is a historic building on Central Avenue (former U.S. Route 66) in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Description and history
It was built in 1937 by a local bakery, the Cottage Pure Food Shoppe, and is significant as a relatively unaltered 1930s food-vending establishment, as well as for its use of roadside novelty architecture to attract customers. The front of the building was constructed in the form of a thatched cottage, which was intended to evoke "a bucolic purity that clients would associate with dairy and bakery products".{{cite web | url={{NRHP url|id=93001218}} | title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Cottage Bakery | publisher=National Park Service | date=November 22, 1993}} With {{NRHP url | id=93001218 | photos=y | title=accompanying photo}}. It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
In May 2024, the Cottage Bakery was operating as the Hausammann Brewhaus.{{cite web |last1=Moore |title=Route 66 Diners in Albuquerque |url=https://msmooretravels.com/2024/03/05/route-66-diners-in-albuquerque/ |website=Ms. Moore Travels |publisher=Ms. Moore |access-date=15 October 2024 |location=Albuquerque |quote=Hausammann Brewhaus (once Cottage Bakery): opened in 1937, the Cottage Bakery was in operation until 1960. It had been various businesses since, and is currently a brewery.}}
The front section of the building is a one-story, side-gabled brick building with two eyebrow arches that give it the appearance of a thatched roof. It has two separate storefronts, each with multi-light corner windows and an arched doorway with brick trim. The eastern section of the building (2004 Central) originally housed the retail outlet of the Cottage bakery, while the Spot Ice Cream Company was located next door at 2000 Central. Behind the cottage is a larger, more utilitarian one-story cinder block section which housed the commercial baking plant.{{cite journal |title=Cottage Pure Food Shoppe |journal=Albuquerque Progress |date=August 1937 |volume=4 |issue=6 |page=4 |url=http://econtent.unm.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/abclibrary/id/4116 |accessdate=December 15, 2018}}
