In 1807, congregation leaders brought in a new baker, Swiss-born Christian Winkler. He bought the Bakery and the dwelling house in 1807. Brother Winkler, his wife Elizabeth, and their six children would live and work in this house for the rest of their lives. His sons and his descendants resided and worked in the bakery until 1926. The dome bake oven at Winkler is typical of bake ovens used in Salem. The Bakery’s oven is still heated with wood as it was nearly 200 years ago.
