The date of 1852 on this building’s façade at Universal in Florida marked the year that Italian born Domenico Ghirardelli founded the D. Ghirardelli & Co. The country’s oldest chocolate maker still has a landmark location at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. The 1916 date refers to when a similar brick clock tower was built by the confectionery in an area now known as Ghirardelli Square.
