It was completed in 1928 for the Pine State Creamery, with later additions in the 1940s and 1960s.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the plant is significant under Criterion A as the only early twentieth-century commercial dairy surviving in Raleigh, tied to the regional growth of the dairy business and its close relationship with State College. Under Criterion C it is presented as one of a few examples of Art Moderne industrial design in Raleigh.","narrative":"Built in 1928 as a dairy products plant on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, this two-story building of cream-colored brick has a three-story corner tower, a crenellated parapet and concrete cartouches in the Moderne style. It was designed and built by James A. Davidson for the Pine State Creamery, which began in 1919 as a dairy farmers' cooperative formed with encouragement from the State College agricultural extension service. The company grew into a regional processor serving parts of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, and it was known for home deliveries, ice cream and milk supplied to Raleigh schools. The plant operated until the company closed in 1996. The building is regarded as an example of the city's early industrial growth and of Art Moderne design applied to a working plant. Its 1940s and 1960s additions were built to match the original scale and materials.","period_of_significance":"1928-1947","architect_builder":"James A. Davidson (builder); H.R.
