Located at 21–23 Main Street, A. Kilpatrick's Store was Roslyn's go to candy & to***co shop in the early 1900s. For generations of local children, this was the place to stop for sweets, penny candy & small treats, while adults came for to***co, newspapers & everyday essentials.

What makes the story especially fascinating is that the building itself dated to approximately 1865, meaning by the time Kilpatrick's occupied the storefront, it was already part of Roslyn history. The shop became one of the many small businesses that helped make Main Street the social & commercial center of village life.

Roslyn historian Roy W. Moger even recalled the store in his memoirs of growing up in the village, a testament to how deeply it was woven into everyday life. For many residents, Kilpatrick's wasn't just a store... it was a childhood memory.

The original storefront is gone today, but its footprint remains part of the Main Street streetscape. The primary site later became part of the property associated with the former Jolly Fisherman complex, while a portion of the historic structure is believed to survive in the building now standing at 21 Main Street.

From penny candy to waterfront dining, this corner has seen Roslyn change dramatically over the last century. Yet if you stand on Main Street & look closely, it's easy to imagine children gathering outside the candy store windows, deciding how to spend a few precious cents.
