Parkside Candy Co.
3208 Main St. at Winspear, Buffalo, NY
1927

The first Parkside Candy Company outlet was located at Main and W. Oakwood Streets (see painting by Dr. V. Roger Lalli).

A few years later, the company opened a second location at Main and Winspear in the University Heights section of Buffalo directly behind their new ice cream parlour with its Art Deco/Adam style interior designed by Buffalo architect G. Morton Wolfe.

In 1983, the film "The Natural" used the shop in one of its scenes. (Also used was All-High Stadium behind Bennett High School, the Ellicott Square Building and old War Memorial Stadium.) -- Source: Parkside Candy Co. Narrative by David Rote
