Haas+Candy+Factory+Location

I walked on the platform hearing the cars. The big building was so beautiful and quiet as I went in the restaurant. I saw people eating and talking. I felt so calm and mellow, like a bird. I went into the other building and saw the elevator. I went onto the 5th floor and I looked out the window and saw the trees and the beautiful flowers. I saw kids, moms, dads, grammas and grandpas with their grandchildren playing. I turned around and I saw the walls from the HAAS CANDY FACTORY all brown and red.

The building is still there by Jessie Street and 54 Mint Street. The candy factory is also by 5th and 4thstreets. It is next to a store that is a restaurant. It started to crumble in the 1906 earthquake but it did not burn down. It was kind of wrecked by the fire in the city. Now it is a office building to work in. Lots of people work there like 50 or 90. It was one of a kind, but George Haas had lots of candy factories that got burned down by the earthquake and fire in 1906. The old mint is behind the building. After the earthquake, George and his sons told the story of what happened. The candy factory was made for George Haas.

The building shape is a rectangle at the bottom. The walls are 25 by 100 feet and the building is tall and slim. You can buy food from the restaurant .The restaurant in on the first floor and the office is on floors 1,2,3,4.5,6,7,8,9. On the side there is a ladder for emergency. The office was a JC Penny after the candy factory.

The Haas Candy store it was very organized. The candy it sold there was chocolate, soda and ice cream. That was the best store in America! The store in now a Gap! Back to the main page (click me!)
