This one-story building began its history at the beginning of the Klondike Gold Rush as the Brackett Trading Post. Proprietor James Brackett built a successful business here, eventually expanding to the point that he needed to move to a larger building. Brackett sold the building to Stephen Baur, the "Boss Baker", who opened a restaurant specializing in freshly baked goods just in time to catch the peak of the Klondike stampede. An 1898 newspaper advertisement read, "For everything first class in the line of bread, cakes, pastries, call on the Boss Baker." The Boss Bakery building currently serves as the park's Trail Center. Each summer, folks stop by before hiking the Chilkoot Trail to pick up permits, receive their pre-hike briefing, and learn about bear safety.
