A Sweet History: The Candy Company Building

The Madison Candy Company first started making sweets in 1899. They were very successful, and soon they needed a bigger place to make all their delicious treats. So, in 1903, they built this very building that we see today.

Changes Over Time: Remodeling and Recognition

Many years later, in 1950, the building was updated with some remodeling work. This helped keep it useful and modern for its time.

The building's history is so important that it has been recognized in several ways. In 2001, the Madison Landmarks Commission officially named it a "landmark." This means it's a special place that the city wants to protect and remember. It's also listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places, showing its importance to the entire state.
