[2] John Claude "J.C." Mills founded the Bogalusa Coca Cola Bottling Company in 1910 and built a two-story wood structure where the current brick building now stands.

That family had a long-term association with Coca-Cola as they started Brennan's Vend Works, which had been selling Coke products since its founding in 1950.

[6] After two years of renovations led by James Brennan, the building reopened in 2023 as "The Coke Plant", a wedding venue with a 500-person capacity.

[3] Both the front and two sides include prominent built-in terra cotta panels featuring the "Coca-Cola" logo and contoured Coke bottle motifs surrounded by honeysuckle leaves.

The two-story front of the red brick building originally served as the offices and has a formal entrance with a concrete door surround.
