This building housed a Coca-Cola bottling plant in the 1920s. There are plans to demolish it to create a large surface parking lot. The land to be combined for parking also includes the site of a deadly building collapse in 2013 that flattened a thrift store. This information and the quote are from an article by Jacob Adelman, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, 4/26/16, at pp. A7, 9. It is a shame the building will be destroyed, because it has some nice art deco attributes.
