Life Savers Building is a historic commercial and industrial building located on
terra cotta. It features larger-than-life replicas of Life Savers rolls at the foundation line.[2] During its peak period of production in the 1960s, as many as 616 million rolls of Life Savers candy were produced each year in the facility. It was converted into a condominium complex in 1989.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] The larger than life replicas of Life Savers have since been removed.
