Childs Restaurant

Located on the famous Riegelmann Boardwalk in Coney Island is the iconic Childs Restaurant Building; a Prohibition era landmark. Built in 1923, the building sports a unique Spanish Revival design with maritime motifs, three spacious floors, and a rooftop garden. The establishment catered to beachgoers until its conversion to a candy factory in 1952, adding a sweet scent to the ocean air for over half a century. Today, it stands reborn as part of the Ford Amphitheater complex, exemplifying how significant buildings can reinvent themselves to preserve their history.
