Called "the most modern baker in the U.S." the new Miller-Parrott Baking Company was opened in 1915. The owners of the business were the three Miller brothers (Henry, Christian, and Charles) and Burton E. Parrott. The miller brothers started their business in Terre Haute back in 1880, with a "Cracker Factory" on North Sixth Steet. The factory was acquired by the U.S. Baking Company, and would later become the National Biscuit Company. After managing the National Biscuit Company for many years, the brothers left the company to thus create the Miller-Parrott Baking Company. The Baking Company was known for its crisp soda crakers, bread, rolls, buns, cakes, pies, cookies, and sweet breads. It also it recongnized for supplying the troops in WWII with the C ration. In 1955, the company was moved to Seelyville, and in a lucky surprise the building was not demolished. The building now houses the Light House Mission of Terre Haute.
