Balinsky opened the bakery on this site in 1914? The presence of a baker in town was considered advantageous, and over the years the community of Kulin have supported business endeavours by bakers, in order to retain the facility. The bakery closed in 1977, after the original bakehouse had been demolished in 1967. Since then the place has been a second-hand store and has recently been refurbished and opened as a tearooms.
