Wagner. It is one of 13 industrial properties in a Tiffin thematic group.","why_significant":"The building is one of the surviving industrial buildings in Tiffin dating from after 1900. It housed the Wagner Brothers soda water and soft drink business, which held the first Coca-Cola franchise in Tiffin. The firm was later known as the Coca-Cola Bottling Co.","narrative":"Built in 1901, this two-story brick building on Benner Street in Tiffin, Ohio, was the home of the Wagner Brothers Bottling Works. Christian and Anthony J. Wagner built it, and they lived in a brick house just to the north, so the business and the residence shared an address for several years. The firm made and bottled soda water and soft drinks and held the first Coca-Cola franchise in Tiffin; by the 1940s it was known as the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. The building is irregularly, roughly wedge-shaped, with brick bearing walls in stretcher bond, a rock-faced stone foundation, nine bays across the front, mostly double-hung 2/2 windows with segmental brick arches, and a basement. Later uses included a vending machine company in 1950 and an appliance store in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is described as being in fair condition and now vacant. It was included among Tiffin's early industrial buildings.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Christian and Anthony J.
