Additional Comments
The American Candy Co. made fine chocolates and assorted candies in this 1902 building designed by Charles Crane. In the 1940s, the warehouse was used first by Boston Store for storage and then by pro-pac as a war materials processing plant. Since 1950 and until at least 2009, Rauschenberger Co., a manufacturer of twine, cordage, and hair goods, has operated at this location.
