John Pearson Soda Works, Industrial brick building in Placerville, United States.
The John Pearson Soda Works features 22-inch thick stone walls and contains underground tunnels connected to a former mine shaft for ice storage.
Scottish immigrant John McFarland Pearson constructed the building's lower portion in 1859 after a fire destroyed the previous structure in downtown Placerville.
The building represents the evolution of beverage manufacturing during the California Gold Rush, transitioning from ice storage to soda production and bottling operations.
Located at 594 Main Street in Placerville, the structure maintains its original architectural elements and stands as a testament to 19th-century industrial design.
The facility incorporates a water-powered elevator, installed in 1897, which transported products between floors during its active bottling operations.
