College Candy Kitchen in Carpenter's Hall

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.

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.
