 At that time it was just one of several candy factories in the area, and one of the products made over the years in the old Childs building were the Peeps line of marshmallow candies.Candy making was still going on within the building at the beginning of the 21st century, but the activity had apparently ceased by 2008, when the building began to be used as a roller skating rink.The owners of the building decided to discontinue that new use in 2010.
