A two-story red brick corner building at St. Louis Avenue and North 14th Street, under a hipped roof lit by gabled dormers: two face St. Louis Avenue, and three more stand between brick chimneys along the 14th Street side. A deep cornice of corbelled brick and a dentil course runs beneath the eaves. Seven segmental-arched windows with brick hoods and stone sills cross the second floor of the front, and the same windows continue down the long side. A metal cornice divides them from the ground floor, a storefront painted dark green with paneled pilasters, a separate door numbered 1403, and display windows under the striped awning at the corner.
Harry Karandzieff and Pete Jugaloff, both Greek immigrants, opened Crown Candy here in 1913, at the corner of St. Louis Avenue and North 14th Street. Karandzieff lived with his wife and children in an apartment above the shop. The candy shop later added lunch service and became Crown Candy Kitchen. Karandzieff ran it until 1951, when his son George took over. After George died in 2005, his sons Andy, Tommy and Mike carried it on. In 2010 the Crown Square redevelopment of North 14th Street took its name from the shop.
