MCCOMB COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY

-A A +A
1949, Fort and White. 310 W. Presley Blvd.

This blond brick Moderne building is situated at the intersection of two major highways, U.S. 51 and MS 24, to give its delivery trucks easy access to the region, which originally included three Mississippi counties and Kentwood, Louisiana. A glass wall sheltered by a flat-roofed porch on slender steel posts marks the entrance to the larger two-story section, identified by the trademark Coca-Cola script lettering, while a one-story office wing with a chamfered corner, steel casement windows, and cast-stone detailing projects at the left. Inside, Coca-Cola engineers installed a newly automated industrial process that purified city water and bottled up to 100,000 bottles a day when it opened.
