I couldn't recall the name and am so glad you posted it.<br />I recall my uncle coming home after work with chunks of chocolate that didn't make the cut, perhaps because they broke off a larger piece. It was always a treat to watch him walk around the corner with that bag of chocolate chunks for us.<br />Many more memories of Carroll Gardens in the 1950s - Rose's candy store on Court between 4th Place & Luquer St, the Sisters of Charity convent on Luquer (now condos, I believe), and St. Marys' Star of the Sea Catholic school (red building still next to the Church) - girls classrooms ground floor, boys upstairs. My 1st grade class had 53 students, sitting 3 across at the old wrought iron and wooden desks with ink wells.I look forward to more people posting on the history of Carroll Gardens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-60499818050289201122016-03-21T12:49:06.682-04:002016-03-21T12:49:06.682-04:00The Chocolate Factory was known as Wallace's C...The Chocolate Factory was known as Wallace's Chocolates.

It used to be called the "Chocolate Factory" and I never could figure out why. I assume that at one time a candy manufacturer was based there but I was able to find out the name of the company.trhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472436098419832718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-49801034275183187702013-07-18T14:08:54.838-04:002013-07-18T14:08:54.838-04:00This was a once Thriving Factory.

Doesn't Hold Up Over Time. I Think It's Because Of the Quality Concrete Being Used To adhere to Vastly Superior Original Mixture.Seannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-74514127450668794092010-07-05T22:41:02.682-04:002010-07-05T22:41:02.682-04:00Unfortunately, I live next door at 507.
