Heyerly's Bakery is on the southwest corner of Mill Street and Jefferson Street (State Road 1) in the small town of Ossian, Indiana. The front of the long, narrow building has a big overhang that people can park their cars under; and one of the front windows has a large American flag.

They've been open since 1931, and are famous for their donuts. A lot of people drive down there from Fort Wayne early in the morning just for that. I photographed the bakery in the late morning, after the rush had died down; because I wanted to see the American flag in the window without any cars parked in front of it. There is a customer inside buying a box of donuts; the racks were pretty empty by that time.

Ossian is a small town on State Road 1 in the northern part of Wells County. It is about eight miles south of Fort Wayne.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Unframed prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print and to allow it to cure for several days before I package it to ship. Framed prints usually take about two weeks, because my framer usually requires about a week to complete his work.

Please Note: In late 2024, I was forced to dramatically increase the prices for framed prints. This reflects the actual cost of framing them. I make no profit from the additional charge for framing; I charge you what the framer charges me, and every framer that I know has had to ramp up prices due to inflation in recent years. I earn my living selling my photographs, and offer the framing at cost because many people prefer to buy a print that is framed and ready to display.

Thank you for supporting my work.
