St Joseph, MO BTS Brown Companies (Chase Candy Company factory)
A Then and Now on the same building. I wonder why they updated only the entrance and not the other side?
This originally was the candy factory for the Chase Candy Company which was established in 1876 by Dr. George Washington Chase. A new modern plant with "enameled walls and ceilings--workers in crisp white uniforms modern machinery and conveying equipment" was built at 402 S. Fifth Street in 1923. The Chase Cherry Mash Candy Bar was introduced in the 1930s. The factory was designed by Walter Boschen in 1923.
In the South Fourth Street Commercial Historic District, National Register #91000124.
