Lofty Coca Cola

The Coca-Cola Syrup Plant in St Louis, Missouri, was built in 1919-1920 as a fruit processing facility for the Temtor Fruit and Products Company. Originally used to manufacture fruit preserves and syrups, the plant became part of the Coca-Cola system after its acquisition in 1928. For decades, syrup produced here was shipped throughout the Midwest for bottling and distribution, making the facility an important link in Coca-Cola's regional operations. Now converted to the residential lofts, the building remains a prominent industrial landmark and a notable example of early twentieth-century manufacturing architecture. - AsNotedIn
