OLD COCA-COLA BOTTLING PLANT

-A A +A
1930. 105 Church St.

This two-story brick office building closely resembles Coca-Cola Bottling Plant, Model 3, produced by Pringle and Smith of Atlanta in 1928 for the Coca-Cola Company. The company marketed its products through standardized logos and bottles, and the stock designs for their buildings further advertised the brand. A cast-stone panel between the lower and upper story displays the company’s logo in cursive script and the patented bottle design. Bottling took place in the rear one-story wing.

Across the street, the Georgian Revival U.S. Post Office (1937; 30 Church) with a cupola is similar to many red brick buildings produced when Louis A. Simon headed the Office of the Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury.
