Coca-Cola bottling plant
Gainesville, FL
This Coca-Cola bottling plant was built in 1949. It is still used as a distribution plant. The building was remodeled in 2019. The letters reading "Gainesville Coca-Cola Bottling Co." on the left were removed. The Coca-Cola letters were moved about the entrance. The cream-colored brick was painted grey. [map]

Coca-Cola bottling plant
Inverness, FL
This Coca-Cola bottling plant was built in 1932. In 1952, the red brick was covered with stucco. I believe the framing around the entrance and windows was part of a remodeling at that time. In 1979, the equipment was removed and this became a Coca-Cola distributor. In 1983, the building was sold to the County. It now houses the Supervisor of Elections Office. For more, see this website.
