Rick Liebermann (right) flew in all the way from California to help Carbondale Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) member John Williams sink a post with a plaque that pays respect to the Liebermann family, who owned and operated the Liebermann Bakery at the turn of the 20th century. The bakery burned down in a fire, but the stone oven still remains at the site, across the alley from Steve’s Guitars on 4th Street. Rick’s grandfather, Reinhardt Liebermann, and his wife, Anna Marie, along with their three children (Rick’s dad and aunts) are included in a photo on the plaque. The HPC has installed a few dozen such signs commemorating historical structures of merit in town. To inquire about having a sign installed at your historic home or business, contact Kae McDonald at the Town Planning Department. Photo by James Steindler
