Coca-Cola Bottling Company Building

-A A +A
1940. 2nd St., between Chestnut and Walnut streets

A dignified, reserved interpretation of the Streamline Moderne of the 1930s, this two-story light-buff brick building exhibits banding across the second floor. On the left side is a separate wing with its counteremphasis on the vertical. At the base of this wing is a bay entirely faced in glass brick; above, as part of a vertical panel of cast stone, is a large framed octagonal window. A large section of the lower wall to the right is of glass brick, and above this is the cast-concrete sign panel bearing the name Coca-Cola.
