Walldog Murals

Artist: Stewart McClaren, Scotland.

The Candy Kitchen was a favorite Marshall hangout. Started in 1915 by Tom Koutsoumpas, Nick Borglas, Pete Hilakos, and George Hilakos – “the Greeks” it was brought in 1932 by John Radmaker, then in 1944 by Eamer Haugh and Martha Rademaker Haugh who ran it until its closing in the 1970s. More than a place to buy candy, the candy kitchen was the go to by young and old to socialize over a chocolate coke or maybe a 20 cent olive nut sandwich. The soda fountain had Tiffany style stained glass inserts and tall marble post and the cozy wallpapers covered with scenes of homes nestled in trees. Lifesavers display next to the milk shakes machines. Many lived in the country and waited in line after school until bus time. On football game nights the candy kitchen was packed and Saturday night was always big with moviegoers.
