1052 South Clinton Avenue, The Burg
Once and maybe still the Levin Candy Company. One of those
interesting minor feats of architecture in the Burg. Its sorta
triangle shaped. This is a new picture of this:)

If I am not mistaken, back when I was a kid, this was the home of the Coleman Poultry market, mom used to go there any buy live chickens, she would pick one out of the cage, they would weigh it, with all it's feathers and inards, the kill and pluck it while you waited... also if I remember correctly, the Levin candy used to be right across the street from where I grew up ... on the corner of Genesee and Roebling.. when the poulty market closed, Levin took over the building...
This was Coleman's Poultry Market for sure. I remember the trucks full of chickens (in their stacked wooden cages) that used to park behind the place on Rusling Street.
For a while at least, I think that Levin Candy was located in a space between Coleman's and Lavinthal's Shoes (which was at Clinton and Chestnut). Steve, before that, it may have been on Genesee and Roebling, but I have no memory of that.
Candy Wholesalers in the area
in the 1950s:
Ace Candy Company 1033 S Clinton
Martha Foster Candy 113 Factory
Herman Levin 1064 S Clinton
Pitt Candy&Toy 229 S Clinton
Printz Candy Company 347 Centre
I do know there was a candy supplier on the corner of Genesee and Roebling, it may not have been Levins, it was not a candy store like Kovach's on Clinton it was more a bulk supplier.. candy by the large box...they were there but I couldnt go in and buy a candy bar...
