959 See's Candy Shop and Kitchen No. 1

Charles Alexander See opened the first See's Candy Shop and Kitchen in this two-story Italian Renaissance Revival style commercial building in 1921. Based on candy recipes from his mother, Mary See, it is in this building that the See family developed its distinctive store design and aesthetic. The company now includes more than 200 shops and is California's largest boxed chocolate manufacturer.
