Paducah Coca-Cola Bottling Company

Paducah Coca-Cola Bottling Company was founded in 1903 by Luther F. Carson. The business moved into this landmark building at 32nd and Broadway in 1939. The building was designed by Lester Daley of Metropolis, Illinois. The lighted dome colorfully graced the night skyline for many years. In 2003, thousands of people toured the building during the centennial celebration of 100 years of Cocoa-Cola bottling and distribution in Paducah. Coca-Cola ceased operation in this facility in 2005.
