Coca-Cola Bottling Plant, Industrial bottling plant in Indianapolis, United States.
The former Coca-Cola Bottling Plant is an industrial building with a white glazed terra cotta exterior and Art Deco details across its main front. The site consists of several connected structures that were originally designed for large-scale manufacturing operations.
The building was constructed in 1931 during the Great Depression and designed by architect Philip A. Weisenburgh. After decades of bottling operations, the facility was eventually transformed and now serves entirely different purposes.
The site was once a place where visitors could watch production through large windows, making the factory part of everyday life and curiosity. This open approach to manufacturing reflected the tradition of showing industry as something to be admired and shared with the public.
The complex now houses a hotel, retail shops, and entertainment venues that are straightforward to explore. The site connects to the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, which makes orientation and navigation easier for visitors.
The complex underwent an extensive transformation while the original Art Deco elements were carefully preserved throughout. The blend of industrial past and modern use shows how historic buildings can take on entirely new lives.
