These photos were taken last week. During the "construction season" this year, the street in front of Aerostich, along with all underlying sewer/water/gas infrastructure, is being replaced. The job is part of a multi-year street rebuilding project which includes many other blocks. The sewer and water lines now being replaced are 130-140 years old. The Aerostich building was built in 1906 for the National Candy Company, which was founded in 1903 in St. Louis, Missouri, and had 22 factories by 1904. From 1929-1981, our building was occupied by Goodwill Industries, at which time it was boarded up and all utilities were shut off. Two years later Aerostich rented the 2nd floor only, restarted the utilities, and began business operations.
