Isaly's Dairy

Or, at least that's what many Pittsburghers believe. The company was actually founded in Mansfield, OH by William Isaly, grandson of Swiss immigrants who settled in Monroe County, Ohio where he acquired the Mansfield Pure Milk Company.

The first expansion of the business took the company to Marion, Ohio, after acquiring the Marion Pure Milk Company in 1914. Operated by Charles Isaly, the Marion operation was quickly modernized, and business grew accordingly. From Marion, the company expanded to Youngstown, Ohio, and by 1918 had a dairy and new headquarters on Mahoning Ave. The Youngstown area was the largest Isaly's market, boasting at one time almost 130 stores. In 1929 they expanded to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Expansion continued through the 1930s and 1940s with additional dairies built from Columbus, Ohio west to Iowa with 310 stores. Pittsburgh residents regarded Isaly's so highly that the company was and still is mistakenly considered a Pittsburgh original.

In addition to the Klondike Bar, the dairies were also known for their unique Skyscraper Cones which eschewed round ice cream scoops, instead using a patented design that resulted in a long, inverse-cone-shaped dip. The company also had great success in selling chipped chopped ham, sliced (shaved) razor-thin for sandwiches. The company also marketed "immunized milk for infants, supplied by special isolated herds of cattle."

Shifting consumer demands, declining sales for home-delivered milk, as well as corporate consolidation led to the closing of Isaly facilities beginning in the 1960s. Several members of the Isaly family attempted to continue to operate food-service operations. In Pittsburgh, Isaly outlets were converted to the "Sweet William" brand. In Ohio, restaurants operated under the "Isaly Shoppe" name until the mid-1990s when the final outlet closed in Marion, Ohio.

This 1x3 low commercial growable is based on the Braddock, PA location, which was demolished sometime between 2011 and 2013, and had probably sat abandoned since the 1960s. I made it true to scale, so it is narrower than the 1 unit (8M) lot. Due to this, it is recommended that you use Move It to achieve the wall to wall look.

Please give me a like with a "thumbs up" if you enjoy.
