Its ornate terra-cotta facade is typical of early 20th-century commercial architecture in Atlanta. It is among the few surviving buildings tied to the early development of Coca-Cola in the city.","narrative":"Built around 1903-1904 on Edgewood Avenue in Atlanta, this three-story brick building was added to the rear of the Coca-Cola Company's 1898 headquarters. It was constructed to house the newly formed Coca-Cola Chewing Gum Company, one of several spin-off products the company tried while building on its popular trademark. The gum sold poorly and was dropped in 1905. Later occupants included printing companies and a candy company. The main facade is richly detailed, with a rusticated granite basement, paired brick pilasters, terra-cotta Corinthian capitals, elliptical windows and a heavy modillion and dentil cornice. It was designed to read as an extension of the headquarters, which burned in the 1970s. The interior was subdivided during rehabilitations in the 1980s and 1990s. The annex is one of the few surviving buildings tied to Coca-Cola's early years in Atlanta, which is why it was listed for its industrial association and its architecture.","period_of_significance":"c.1903-1905","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century Styles: Classical Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated 1993-1995 and currently used as housing and outpatient-related space for homeless HIV-positive and AIDS patients treated at Grady Hospital.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.763217-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/96001138.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001138/163a9b6cce-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001138/163a9b6cce-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Geoff Bartlett","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Historic_Coca-Cola_Building_Annex.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Geoff Bartlett</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Historic_Coca-Cola_Building_Annex.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93208132","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134347116"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/fulton-county/coca-cola-building-annex-96001138/"}
