BEVERAGE PLANTS: COCA-COLA (page 1)

Many of the buildings shown on this page are not from the Art Deco era. However, for the purposes of keeping all the Coca-Cola buildings and other bottling plants together, I'll include them all here regardless of when they were built.

former Coca-Cola bottling plant Indianapolis, IN

This former Coca-Cola bottling plant complex was built in 1931, with updates in 1940 and 1949. The exterior is faced with glazed terracotta tile while the interior has travertine walls. The buildings are now used as a public school bus facility. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

former Coca-Cola bottling plant Waco, TX

This former Coca-Cola bottling plant was built in 1939. It was designed by Robert V. Derrah who also designed the famous Coca-Cola Building in Los Angeles, CA. This building is now used as a warehouse for Brazos Distributing.

Rose Construction, Inc. former Coca-Cola bottling plant Covington, TN

This former Coca-Cola building was designed by Memphis architect Everett Woods. It was built between 1940-1941 in the Art Moderne style. It operated as a Coke bottling plant until 1979. After that, it functioned as the Jackson Tire Company and Patterson's Carpets. In 1997, the Rose family bought and restored the building which is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The interior features a small Coca-Cola museum and old photos of the building. The Coke sign on the roof appears to have been damaged by a storm. I'm sure fixing it is on Rose's to-do list. For another photo, see this website.

This Morrilton Coca-Cola was built in 1929. When Coke moved to a larger facility in the 1960s, a Wal-Mart took over the building. It is now used as City Hall and the Police Department. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For more, see this webpage. The Terrell Coca-Cola was built in 1935. It is no longer used as a bottling plant.
