College Candy Kitchen in Carpenter's Hall
Amherst (Mass.)
This is the area behind the commercial blocks on the north side of upper Main Street in Amherst where Bueno Y Sano is now located. The College Candy Kitchen was located in the Nash Block before the fire in February of 1928 destroyed the building. The Candy Kitchen temporarily operated out of Carpenter's Hall, (middle building on right) as shown in this photograph.
This area was part of the property owned by Noah Webster from 1812 to 1822. Boltwood Walk and the Boltwood Walk Parking Garage now occupy this area.

Whipple House and Jones Library
Libraries
Amherst (Mass.)
Photograph taken from in front of the Whipple House on North Pleasant Street. The Jones Library operations moved into this house two days after the disastrous fire that destroyed the Amherst House in December of 1926. The elliptical window (barely visible) on the house was incorporated into the new Jones Library building. Note the Jones Library sign on the front of the house. The Whipple House was razed to make room for construction of the new fire station.
Seen in the background is the recently constructed Jones Library building. The cornerstone for this building was a 900 pound slab salvaged from the Amherst House and was laid on October 19, 1927.
