Building History

The Crown Candy Corporation was established in 1917 when D. F. Leake, started cooking fudge and peanut bars on fourth floor of a building on 84 Pryor Street in downtown Atlanta.

In 1936, the company moved to the Crown Candy building near Oakland Cemetery, where they did business until 1971. The company, still in business, is now based in Macon, GA.
