The former Brach's Candy Factory in Cicero, Illinois, once a sprawling complex that produced confections for decades, has been demolished. The site, which was a significant employer in the area, has since been replaced by a truck parking lot. The factory's large brick structure, visible in the background, stands as a remnant of its industrial past before its eventual demolition.
