Dixie Coca-Cola Bottling Company Plant

The Dixie Coca-Cola Bottling Company Plant, also known as Baptist Student Center, Georgia State University or Baptist Student Union, Georgia State University, is a historic building in Atlanta, Georgia. It was the headquarters of the Dixie Coca-Cola Bottling Company, and the place where the transition from Coca-Cola as a drink served at a soda fountain to a mass-marketed bottled soft drink took place. Historically, this structure is significant to the city, state, and nation for its early role in the eventual world-wide distribution of Coca-Cola, a soft drink which has become an integral part of the social and economic fabric of the United States. It was for that reason the National Park Service has recognized the Dixie Coca-Cola Bottling Company Plant as a National Historic Landmark.
